    Recipe Introduction


    servings 8
    points 5

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
    1 1/2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated
    1 egg white
    Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    9 ounces lasagna noodles (about 9 noodles)
    2 cups tomato Sauce
    3 ounces skim-milk mozzarella cheese, shredded

    Recipe



    In a small bowl, combine the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses, egg white and pepper; set aside.

    Spray two 24" sheets of wax paper on one side with nonstick cooking spray.

    In a large pot of boiling water, cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and separate noodles; arrange in a single layer between the wax
    paper sheets.

    Preheat the oven to 400o F. Spray a 13 x 9" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
    Spread 1/2 cup of Tomato Sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish, then add 3 lasagna noodles in a single layer, trimming the noodles as needed to fit the dish; reserve the trimmings for the next layer. Spread one third the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles; drizzle with 1/2 cup of the Tomato Sauce and sprinkle with one third of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Add 3 more lasagna noodles and repeat the layers, ending with the Parmesan.
    Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes; uncover and bake about 10 minutes more, until bubbling and slightly crispy on top. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting into 8
    equal portions.
