Layers of frozen breaded eggplant, no-cook noodles, marinara sauce, tomatoes, and two cheeses make this lasagna extra-easy and super-tasty. Ingredients:
1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce |
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with garlic, basil and oregano |
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese |
1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1 (8 ounce) package no-boil lasagna noodles (12 noodles) |
1 (16 ounce) package frozen eggplants, cutlets (breaded italian-style) |
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (12 oz.) |
basil sprig (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, combine marinara sauce and tomatoes with their juices. In separate bowl, combine ricotta and seasoning. Spread 1 cup sauce mixture over bottom of baking dish.
2. Layer 3 lasagna noodles, half of ricotta mixture, 3 noodles, 1 cup sauce, half of eggplant and 1 cup mozzarella over sauce in dish. Repeat layers once, reserving 1 cup mozzarella. Top with remaining sauce.
