Lasagna

I made some quick spaghetti sauce the other day so I decided to make some lasagna with the leftovers. This was my very first one ever. I was pressed for time, so I used no-boil noodles.

I'm not in love with this recipe, I think it could use some tweaks. I would have added more mozzarella and less ricotta. I'd probably use ground beef. I would DEFINITELY add more sauce. That said, it was still pretty tasty and Nick said he'd eat it again (which is good since it's in the freezer right now!).

1 lb. ground turkey or beef
24 oz part skim ricotta
2 c. shredded mozzarella
quick spaghetti sauce
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
lasagna noodles
1 onion, chopped
1 egg
1 egg white
3 cloves garlic
basil
oregano
parsely
dried pepper and onion seasoning
olive oil

Spray or pour some olive oil in a skillet. Brown the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent, about 7 minutes.

Add the meat and cook until just browned.

In a bowl, mix the cheeses and the egg, and the spices.

In a 9x13 pan, spread 1 1/2 c. of the sauce, then layer noodles, cheese, meat and sauce. Repeat layers as many times as you want (I did it twice).

Sprinkle a little cheese on the top.

Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes.
