The home economists in our Test Kitchen created this tasty mini lasagna. It strikes a perfect balance between cheese and tomato flavors. Ingredients:
4 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained |
2 johnsonville® mild italian sausage links links (about 1/2 pound), casings removed |
1-1/2 cups spaghetti sauce |
1 cup ricotta cheese |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese |
1 tablespoon each dried thyme, parsley flakes, basil and rosemary, crushed |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. Cut 3 noodles widthwise in halt. Cut remaining noodle widthwise into thirds. Crumble sausage into a skillet; cook over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce; set aside. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, Parmesan and seasonings; set aside.
2. Spread 3 tablespoons meat sauce in a shallow 1-qt. baking dish. Top with two large noodle pieces and one small piece. Layer with half of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers once, starting with sauce. Top with remaining noodles, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese.
3. Cover and bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until heated through. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 2-3 servings.
