Making this cheesy, hearty dish has never been easier! (Check out the recipes on KraftCanada.com for tips and tricks to tailor it to your tastes.)
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 lasagna noodles, uncooked
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 13×9-inch baking dish; top with layers of 3 lasagna 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.
Bake 1 hour or until heated through, uncovering after 45 min. Let stand 15 min. before serving.
Of course, you’ll want to bookmark the lasagna recipe for a classic, tried and true favourite. But what are some more adventurous ways to incorporate the goodness of cheese?
