Easy Cheese Lasagna by - - serves: 6	No ratings Rating Details Rate this recipe Printable View Print Index Cards

6 servings
prep time: 20 minutes
cook time: 1 hour, 10 minutes (requires oven)

Ingredients:

1 jar/28oz

spaghetti sauce

1 pkg/8oz

no-boil lasagna noodles

1 container/15oz

park-skim ricotta cheese

2 cups

sliced or chopped veggies (mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, broccoli, spinach, etc)

8 oz

shredded park-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F, and spray a large pan (about 11" x 17" x 2") with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Spread about 1/4 of the sauce in the pan, and top with 3 lasagna noodles.
3. Spread another 1/4 of the sauce over the noodles. Top with 1/2 the veggies, 1/2 the ricotta, and 1/3 of the mozzarella. Cover with 3 more noodles.
4. Repeat all the layers in step 3.
5. Top with remaining 1/4 of sauce.
6. Cover pan with foil. Bake in pre-heated oven one hour covered. Remove foil, top with remaining 1/3 mozzarella, then bake another 5 minutes to melt mozzarella.
7. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

Variations - Stove-top Version:
Substitute 8 oz. any kind of pasta for the lasagna noodles.
Cook according to package directions, then drain.

While the noodles are cooking, cook the veggies in a little olive oil, until they're slightly soft.

Combine everything - cooked pasta, veggies, spaghetti sauce and cheeses - in the biggest pan you have. Stir over very low heat until cheese warms & melts.

It won't be as pretty as oven lasagna, but it will taste just as good.
