A meatier version of our all-in-one lasagna, we added lean ground beef or ground turkey for a heartier twist on this classic Italian dish. If you like it spicy, use Hot Italian Sausage for a zesty kick.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
1 can Red Gold® Canned Crushed Tomatoes 28 oz OR
2 cans Red Gold® Canned Crushed Tomatoes 15 oz
2 cans Red Gold® Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano 14.5 oz
- Salt to taste
- 1 pound lean ground beef, Italian sausage or ground turkey, cooked and drained
- 1 (16 ounce) box traditional lasagna noodles, uncooked
- 1 (15 ounce) carton low fat ricotta cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Step one
Preheat oven to 350° F. In large mixing bowl combine water, crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes, salt, and cooked ground beef; stir to combine ingredients.
Step two
Cover the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan with 1½ cups of sauce mixture. Arrange 1/3 of noodles on top of sauce, slightly overlapped. Top with ½ of ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1 cup of sauce. Repeat layers and top with last 1/3 of noodles and the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Step three
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 to 1½ hours; until noodles are cooked. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Step four
The recipe makes 12 servings, but you could divide the recipe into two 9×9 inch baking dishes and freeze one for a easy weeknight dinner.
