Simply Lsagna



You will need:

1 lb. ground beef
2-1/2 cups KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese,
divided 1 container (15 oz.)
POLLY-O Natural Part Skim Ricotta Cheese 1/2 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg, beaten 1 jar (26 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1 cup water 12 lasagna noodles, uncooked

Here's how:

HEAT oven to 350°F. Brown meat in large skillet on medium-high heat. Meanwhile, mix 1-1/4 cups mozzarella cheese, the ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, parsley and egg until well blended; set aside.

DRAIN meat; return to skillet. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Add water to empty sauce jar; cover with lid and shake well. Add to meat mixture; stir until well blended. Spread 1 cup of the sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish; top with layers of 3 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup sauce. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining 3 noodles and the remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1-1/4 cups mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Cover with greased foil.

BAKE 45 min. Remove foil; bake an additional 15 min. or until heated through. Let stand 15 min. before cutting to serve.

Size-Wise
Since this comfort food classic serves 12, it's a perfect dish to serve at your next gathering.

Easy Cleanup
Spray foil with cooking spray before covering the lasagna. This will help prevent the foil from sticking to the cheese on top.

Note
Noodles will expand during baking to fill baking dish.
Enjoy your meal!
