  1. Preheat oven to 375º. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, cook sausage and next 4 ingredients over medium-high heat until meat is browned and crumbly; drain. Stir in tomato paste; cook for 1 minute. Stir in wine, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in 2 cups pasta sauce, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until very thick.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, for 3 minutes. Whisk in milk, garlic salt, and pepper; cook, stirring often, for 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in mozzarella until melted.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk 1/2 cup cheese sauce into beaten egg; whisk egg mixture into cheese sauce in saucepan.
  5. Spread 1/2 cup meat mixture in bottom of prepared pan, and top with 3 noodles. Spread 1 cup meat mixture over noodles. Spread 1 cup cheese sauce over meat mixture. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan. Beginning with noodles, repeat layers 3 times.
  6. Top with remaining noodles, remaining meat mixture, and remaining cheese sauce. Spread remaining pasta sauce over cheese sauce, and sprinkle with remaining shredded Parmesan.
