Ingredients

1-1/2 to 2 lbs. lean ground beef

2-1/2 cups Mozzarella Shredded Cheese, divided

2 cups ricotta cheese

1/2 - 3/4 cup Parmesan/Romano cheese, grated and divided

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 jar (700 mL) Spaghetti sauce (your favourite)

2-3 garlic cloves, minced

1-1/2 cups water

12 lasagna noodles, uncooked

Note: I sometimes add a layer of spinach. I use 1 package of frozen spinach that has been thawed and very well drained. Simple as that.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Brown meat in large skillet on medium heat.

Meanwhile, mix 1-1/4 cups of the mozzarella cheese, the ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan or Romano cheese, the parsley and egg until well blended and set aside.

Drain meat; return to skillet.

Stir in pasta sauce and minced garlic.

Pour water into empty sauce jar.

Replace lid and shake well.

Add to skillet; stir until well blended.

Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce onto the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.

Top with layers of 3 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup of the meat sauce.

Repeat layers two more times.

Top with remaining 3 noodles and remaining meat sauce.

Sprinkle with remaining 1-1/4 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan/Romano cheese.

Cover tightly with PAM sprayed foil.

Bake for 1 hour.

Remove foil and continue baking for 15-20 minutes or until heated completely through.

Let stand 15 minutes before cutting to serve.

Substitute:

Substitute 2 pkg. (1 cup each) frozen, thawed simulated ground beef for the browned ground beef.

Shortcut:

Adding water to the sauce helps cook traditional noodles during baking, so you don't have to cook them beforehand. This saves you 15 to 20 min. of prep time.
