I actually don't think I'll be doing any cooking for the holidays. We usually carve the Christmas Lasagna though.

Brown Italian sausage with onions and set to the side
In a lasagna pan, pour out 1/3 of a jar of spaghetti sauce
Place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles on the sauce
layer with half of the sausage
add healthy amount of mozzarella cheese
add 1/3 of a tub of ricotta cheese (best with part skim ricotta ... cottage cheese tastes like garbage in a lasagna)
layer 3 more uncooked noodles
pour over 1/3 of the sauce
layer remaining sausage
add healthy amount of mozzarella
add 1/3 of the tub of ricotta (NO COTTAGE CHEESE ... GROSS!)
layer 3 more uncooked noodles
pour over remaining sauce
heap on the mozzarella again
add the remaining ricotta and give the dog the cottage cheese
sprinkle on parmesan cheese

Cover and bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
Uncover and bake for 35-min to 1 hour until cheese is browned

Gives a lasagna that isn't runny or watery with firm noodles that aren't sloppy.
