My friend, Joyce,  has done it again!  

Knocked my socks off with one of her family recipes!  

This was truly the best lasagna I have ever had---

with the strangest ingredients I have ever heard of...

You will just have to try it...delicious!

1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cans sliced mushrooms, drained

1 cup of assorted color peppers chopped

2 TBSP butter

1 cup heavy cream

4 cups Mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Saute' the chopped onions and peppers in about 2 TBSP butter
 or olive oil for a few minutes until they are softened.  
Add the minced garlic.  
Add the sausage, the spaghetti sauce and Rotel.  

Combine well and simmer for an hour on low.  
When the hour is done, add the heavy cream 
and mushrooms and stir well.

Place a layer of noodles on next.  
Mix the Ricotta cheese with the egg until creamy 
and place that mixture on the noodles.  
Add 2 cups Mozzarella cheese on next.  

Add another layer of noodles and then the remaining sauce.
