Store-bought spaghetti sauce simplifies preparation of this loaf-size lasagna from Kathy Coble of Missouri City, Texas. With a salad on the side, a serving of this Italian-style casserole makes a hearty meal. Ingredients:
5 lasagna noodles |
1/2 pound ground beef |
1/4 cup each chopped onion, green pepper and fresh mushrooms |
1 jar (14 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce |
1 egg, beaten |
3/4 cup ricotta cheese |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
1-1/2 teaspoons italian seasoning |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, green pepper and mushrooms over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, combine the egg, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley and Italian seasoning. Drain noodles.
2. Spread 1/4 cup meat sauce in a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Trim noodles to fit pan. Place two noodles over meat sauce; layer with a third of the cheese mixture, a third of the remaining meat sauce and 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers twice, using noodle trimmings in top layer. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 2 servings.
