Micromagic Lasagna, similar to traditional lasagna, is a pasta dish that is layered with meat and cheese, but utilizes no-boil lasagna noodles, making it an easy and quick dish to prepare on busy weeknights. This recipe also uses jarred sauce, which makes the cooking process even faster, without sacrificing the flavor. The dish is also versatile and can be modified to personal preference by adding vegetables or replacing the meat with other protein options. It is a comfort food that is perfect for family dining and can be frozen for later consumption.

4.	Spread a small amount of the sauce on the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish.
5.	Lay two noodles on top of the sauce.
6.	Spread a layer of the ricotta cheese over the noodles, followed by a layer of the mozzarella cheese.
7.	Spoon some of the sausage sauce on top of the cheese, and sprinkle with some of the parmesan cheese.
8.	Repeat the layers of noodles, cheese, sauce, and parmesan cheese two more times.
9.	Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
10.	Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
