"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Preheat oven to 350º. Lightly coat a 2-quart square baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1/3 cup of pasta sauce into the prepared dish. Top with 2 lasagna noodles. Combine ricotta cheese and 1 cup mozzarella cheese; spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with half of the Parmesan cheese. Top with half of the vegetables and sausage. Pour half of the remaining sauce over the sausage.

Top with 2 more noodles, the remaining cheese mixture, and remaining vegetables and sausage. Add the last 2 noodles. Spoon the remaining pasta sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella and the rest of the Parmesan cheese.

Lightly coat a sheet of tin foil with cooking spray. Cover lasagna with foil, coated side down. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 20 minutes before serving.

Personal Notes:
This is the best lasagna recipe I've found for smaller households, because it only makes half as much lasagna as the average recipe. It also freezes beautifully.
