Sausage Spinach Alfredo Lasagna

---

You can make this into a lower-fat version by using lower-fat cheeses and alfredo sauce. Italian sausages may be replaced for the turkey sausage. Purchase a good-quality alfredo sauce for this, it will make all the difference to this recipe, really you can use as much sauce as desired, the amount listed is only a guideline. This can be completely prepared up to 24 hours in advance, covered and refrigerated, or you can prepared the ricotta/spinach mixture up to a day ahead. This lasagna is *delicious* :)
