Shortcut Lasagna

Lasagna is such a chore to make, and who has time for the real thing?  I am a big fan of making lasagna, but they do take a lot of time, even when you cheat like me and use the no-bake noodles (they are so awesome!).  Today's recipe is also a healthier take on lasagna, but still has the meat, noodles, and cheese that people love.  This is a quick dish to cook (20ish minutes) and prepare (less than 10 minutes!), which puts this in a 30 minute meal category!

Ingredients

Image

8 ounces uncooked egg noodles (about half the package)

1 and ¼ cups fat-free ricotta cheese

1 and ½ cups (6 oz) shredded provolone cheese, divided

1 teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 lb ground round (or leave if out if you are a veggie)

2 cups tomato sauce

cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

2. Cook the noodles in boiling water for 5 minutes.

3. Spray skillet and cook beef in over medium-high heat until browned.  Add tomato sauce once browned, remove from heat.

Brown the beef

Add the Sauce

4. Combine ricotta, 1 cup provolone, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and set aside.

Since I can never find [re-shredded provolone, I just stack the slices and grate them. Works for me!

5. Drain noodles.  Combine noodles and meat mixture in a large bowl.  Place 3 cups of meat/noodle mix in bottom of 11 x 7 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.  Spread ricotta mix over the noodles.  Top ricotta with remaining noodle mixture, and sprinkle ½ cup of remaining provolone on top.

6. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until cheese melts.

Lasagna goodness!

Enjoy!

    Looks delicious! I never thought to use the egg noodles instead of lasagna noodles. Probably better for your health. Thanks for the quick recipe and I'll have to try it soon. ;D
