Italian Lasagne Casserole

Have on hand one recipe of Spaghetti Sauce and one recipe of Handmade Noodles, freshly made and rolled out but not cut. Purchased lasagne noodles can also be used. You will also need a batch of cheese filling:
Ravioli Cheese
Mozarella Cheese, grated
Season with garlic and Italian seasonings, mix well

Cut noodle dough into 2 1/2" wide strips. Drop into boiling water with salt and a little oil, cook until tender. Drain and begin assembling the cassarole: In a deep greased casserole pan, place a little of the spaghetti sauce. Top with a single layer of cooked lasagne noodles, a thin layer of cheese filling, spaghetti sauce to cover, and repeat these three layers until the pan is filled to within 1 1/2" of the top. Top with a final layer of noodles, more spaghetti sauce and grated mozarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until browned and bubbly. Casserole may be baked covered with aluminum foil (I recommend Release foil, which is coated with a thin layer of teflon on one side) and uncover for the last 15 minutes or so of baking to brown. Serve with salad and garlic bread.

Variations: Add slices of cooked Italian sausage and/or whole black olives to the spaghetti sauce before assembling casserole.
