3. Add sausage and sautéuntil brown and cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 5 minutes.

4. Add garlic and stir 1 minute. Add wine; cook until almost all liquid evaporates, scraping up browned bits, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

5. Spread 2/3 cup marinara sauce over bottom of 13×9×2-inch baking dish.

6. Place noodles (about 4) over sauce, forming 1 layer (noodles may overlap slightly).

7. Spread 1 cup sauce over noodles.

8. Top with 1/3 of ricotta, then 1 cup grated cheese.

9. Spoon 1/3 of sausage mixture over. Repeat 2 more times with noodles, sauce, ricotta, grated cheese, and sausage mixture.

10. Cover with 4 more noodles.

11. Spoon remaining 1 cup sauce over; sprinkle remaining 1 cup grated cheese over.

12. Cover with foil, tenting in center to prevent cheese from touching foil.

13. Bake lasagna 45 minutes; remove foil.

14. Bake until bubbling at edges and cheese is browned, about 10 minutes longer. Let stand 15 minutes.
