Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Kraft Kitchen Tips!

Serving Suggestion

Serve with a crisp green salad tossed with Kraft Calorie-Wise Zesty Italian Dressing.

Easy Cleanup

The foil is sprayed with cooking spray before using to cover the lasagna to help prevent it from sticking to the melted cheese.

Easy Cleanup

Placing a layer of sauce under the first layer of noodles will help prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the baking dish.

Shortcut

Adding water to the sauce helps cook traditional noodles during baking, so you don't have to cook them beforehand. This saves you 15 to 20 minutes of prep time.

Note

The noodles will expand during baking to fill the baking dish.

Substitute

Substitute 1 pkg. (300 g) frozen chopped spinach for the browned ground beef. Thaw spinach; squeeze out excess liquid. Prepare as directed, covering each ricotta layer with 1/3 of the spinach.
