Lasagna is so time consuming, it is usually saved for the weekend or a special occasion. This dish is super easy to put together, you will be amazed. The best part of it though is how delicious it is!
1 lb. bulk Italian pork sausage (or lean ground beef)
1 large onion, chopped
2 c. tomato pasta sauce
1/2 t. dried oregano leaves
1/2 t. dried basil

1 egg
15 oz. part-skim Ricotta cheese
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese

2 cans (13.8 oz. each) refrigerated classic pizza crust
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
In 12-inch non-stick skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium-high heat 5 - 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink; drain well; discard grease. Stir in pasta sauce, basil, garlic powder and oregano; cook until thoroughly heated.
In medium bowl, beat egg. Stir in Ricotta and Parmesan cheeses and 1 1/2 c. Mozzarella cheese.
