ITALIAN SAUSAGE / ZUCCHINI LASAGNA

1 lb sweet italian sausage
1 c onion, chopped
1/2 c mushrooms, chopped
1/2 c zucchini, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
32 oz jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
Lasagna Noodles
16 oz Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 pkg frozen chopped spinach (thawed & drained)
2 eggs
16 oz mozzerella cheese, grated
2 t powdered cloves

Brown sausage in heavy skillet, drain, add onions, mushrooms, zucchini & garlic. Cook til tender. Pour in spaghetti sauce. Put on low heat and let simmer 20 min, stirring occasionally.
Boil water for lasagna noodles, add 1 T olive oil to keep noodles from sticking. Add noodles, return to boil, heat slightly and cook until just tender, stir occasionally. Strain & let cool.
Combine Ricotta Cheese, eggs, thawed and drained spinach and two tsp of powdered cloves. Mix well. Assemble Lasagna in a 9x12 baking pan:
Bottom Layer: 1/3 meat sauce, noodles, 1/2 ricotta mixture, 1/3 mozzerella
Middle Layer: 1/3 meat sauce, noodles, 1/2 ricotta mixture, 1/3 mozzerella
Top Layer: 1/3 meat sauce, 1/3 mozzerella
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Cover loosely with foil. Remove foil and cook for 15 more minutes until cheese is golden. Put a cookie sheet under the pan because it will ooze up. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing otherwise it will all run together.
