Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 4 cups low-fat ricotta or cottage cheese
  • 23 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp Pizza Seasoning
  • 6 cups Marinara Sauce
  • 1 can (28 oz/796 ml) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (28 oz/796 ml) crushed tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp Marinara Sauce Mix
  • 2 cups water
  • 24 pre-cooked, oven-ready lasagna noodles
  • 4 cups grated, partly-skimmed mozzarella cheese

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C).
  2. Combine eggs, ricotta or cottage cheese, Parmesan and Pizza Seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mix Marinara Sauce with water – thinning sauce ensures proper re-hydration of pre-cooked noodles during cooking.
  4. Lightly grease 2 – 9" x 13" baking dishes and spread 1⁄2 cup sauce in the bottom of each. Layer with 3 lasagna noodles.
  5. Top with 3⁄4 cup sauce and 1⁄3 ricotta cheese mixture. Repeat with two more layers of noodles, sauce and cheese mixture.
  6. Add a final layer of noodles and sauce and top with mozzarella.
  7. Bake, covered, for 40 minutes, or until mozzarella is melted and sauce is bubbling. Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until mozzarella is lightly browned.
  8. Let rest on counter 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
