In small bowl whisk together your beaten egg, ricotta, 2 cups mozzarella, parmesan cheese and 2 tsp garlic powder.
Meanwhile cook macaroni according to package for 8-11mins.
Brown sausage and drain; add 1 jar spaghetti sauce.
In 13×9-inch baking dish layer noodles, ricotta mixture, meat sauce, mushrooms.
Repeat layers.
Heat other jar of sauce adding oregano, and 1tsp garlic powder, and pour over top of dish — careful not to overfill, but fully saturate.

**Serve with garlic bread and watch it disappear!**.
