List of Ingredients

Lite + Lazy Lasagna

12 lasagna noodles
2C shredded non-fat/reduced fat mozzarella cheese
1/4C grated non-fat/reduced fat parmesan cheese
**filling**
15oz. non-fat ricotta cheese
1C dry curd or non-fat cottage cheese
1/4C grated non-fat/reduced fat parmesan cheese
2TBSP finely chopped fresh parsley or 2tsp dried
**sauce**
8oz. 95% lean ground beef or turkey Italian sausage
2cans (16oz each) unsalted tomato sauce
1can (16oz) unsalted tomatoes (crushed)
2TBSP tomato paste
2C sliced fresh mushrooms
1med onion (chopped)
1-1/2tsp crushed fresh garlic
2-1/2tsp dried Italian seasoning

To make the sauce, place the ground meat in a four qt pot. Cook over med
heat, stirring crumble, until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off excess
fat. (If the meat is 95% lean, there will be no fat to drain).
Add all of the remaining sauce ingredients to the browned meat, increase
the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and
simmer for 25 minutes, or until the veggies are tender. Set aside.
To make the filling, combine all of the filling ingredients in a large
bowl and stir to mix well. Set aside.
To assemble the lasagna, coat a 9 x 13" baking pan with non-stick cooking
spray. Spoon 1C of the sauce over the bottom of the pan. Lay 4 of the
UNCOOKED noodles over the bottom of the pan, arranging 3 of the noodles
lengthwise and 1 noodle crosswise. Allow a little space between the noodles
for expansion (You will have to break 1" off the crosswise noodle to make it
fit into the pan).
Top the noodles with half of the filling mixture, 3/4C of the mozzarella,
and 1/2C of the sauce. Repeat the noodles, filling, mozzarella, and sauce
layers. Finally, top with the remaining noodles, parmesan cheese, and
mozzarella.
Cover the pan with foil, bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove the
foil, and bake for 15 additional minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and
the top is brown. Remove the dish from the oven, and let sit for 5 minutes
before cutting and serving.
