Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
1 egg, beaten
1 container (15 oz.) POLLY-O Natural Part Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 1/2 cups KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, divided
1/2 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
1 jar (24 oz.) CLASSICO Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce
1 cup water
12 lasagna noodles, uncooked
Directions

1. Heat oven to 350°F.

 

2. Brown meat in large skillet on medium-high heat. Meanwhile, combine egg, ricotta, parsley, 1-1/4 cups mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan.

 

3. Drain meat; return to skillet. Stir in pasta sauce. Add 1 cup water to empty sauce jar; cover with lid and shake well. Add to meat mixture; stir until blended.

 

4. Spread 1 cup meat sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; top with layers of 3 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta mixture and 1 cup of the remaining meat sauce. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining noodles, meat sauce and cheeses. Cover with foil sprayed with cooking spray.

 

5. Bake 1 hour or until heated through, removing foil after 45 min. Let stand 15 min. before cutting to serve.

 

Kitchen Tips: Tip 1, Size Wise: Since this comfort-food classic serves 12, it's the perfect dish to serve at your next large gathering of family or friends. Tip 2, Note: The noodles will expand as the lasagna bakes to fill the baking dish. Tip 3, Variation: Prepare using extra-lean ground beef, and substituting 2 egg whites for the whole egg.

 

Note: Adding water to the sauce helps cook the traditional noodles during baking so you don't have to cook them beforehand. This saves you 15 to 20 minutes of prep time.
