Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 12x17-inch baking sheet with olive oil.

- In the same frying pan, add remaining olive oil and spicy sausage, cooking until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add diced red onion and sauté until softened, approximately 3 minutes.
- Fill a large pot with salted water, bring to a boil, and cook lasagna sheets for about 4 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
- Stir in marinara sauce, sausage mixture, 1.5 cups mozzarella, and 1 cup parmesan cheese until well-combined with noodles.
