What You Need

1 lb. (450 g) lean ground beef

2-1/2 cups Kraft Part Skim Mozzarella Shredded Cheese, divided

2 cups light ricotta cheese

1/2 cup Kraft 100% Parmesan Grated Cheese, divided

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 egg, beaten

1 jar (700 mL) pasta sauce

1-1/2 cups water

12 lasagne noodles, uncooked

Make It

HEAT oven to 350°F.

BROWN meat in large skillet on medium-high heat. Meanwhile, mix 1-1/4 cups mozzarella, ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmesan, parsley and egg until blended.

DRAIN meat; return to skillet. Stir in pasta sauce. Pour water into empty sauce jar; cover and shake well. Add to skillet; stir until blended.

SPREAD 1 cup meat sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish; top with layers of 3 lasagne noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta mixture and 1 cup meat sauce. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining noodles and meat sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover with foil sprayed with cooking spray.

BAKE 1 hour or until heated through, uncovering after 45 min. Let stand 15 min. before cutting to serve.

kraft kitchens tips

Substitute

Substitute 1 pkg. (300 g) frozen chopped spinach for the browned ground beef. Thaw spinach; squeeze out excess liquid. Prepare as directed, covering each ricotta layer with 1/3 of the spinach.

Shortcut

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

Easy Cleanup

Placing a layer of sauce under the first layer of noodles will help prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the baking dish.

This is the best lasagna I ever made! I even tried substituting whole wheat noodles & partly skim mozza... Couldn't even tell the difference!

This turned out GREAT! (even though I used cottage cheese rather than ricotta.) I also added a thin layer of fresh baby spinach leaves. Any recipe the kids like, I give 5 stars!!
