1.5lb. Hamburger
12 lasagna noodles, uncooked
2 cups shredded reduced fat mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated nonfat or reduced fat Parmesan cheese

Filling:

15 ounces nonfat ricotta cheese
1 cup nonfat cottage cheese
1/4 cup grated nonfat or reduced fat Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsely, or 2 teaspoons dried

Sauce:

8 ounces 95% lean ground beef (or Morningstar Farms recipe crumbles)
2 16 ounce cans of tomato sauce
1 16 ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed garlic
2 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning

Sauce: Brown ground beef and drain. Add remaining sauce ingredients to browned ground
beef and stir, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Set aside.
Filling: Combine all of the filling ingredients in a large bowl and stir to mix well. Set aside.
Assembly: Coat a 9x13 pain with cooking spray. Spoon 1 cup of the sauce over bottom of
pan. Lay 4 uncooked noodles over the bottom of the pain (3 lengthwise and one crosswise).
Allow a little space between noodles for expansion. Top noodles with half of the filling
mixture, 3/4 cup of mozzarella, and 1 1/2 cups of sauce. Repeat the noodles, filling,
mozzarella and sauce layers. Finally top with remaining noodles, sauce, Parmesan and
mozzarella. Cover the pain with aluminum foil and bake at 350º F for 45 minutes, remove foil
and bake for 15 more minutes or until the edges are bubbly and the top is brown. Remove
from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
