Ingredients:

  • 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 jar (26 to 30 ounces) spaghetti sauce
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 carton (15 ounces) ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 10 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Cooking:

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into small crumbles and stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings; season with salt. Stir in spaghetti sauce, tomatoes and red pepper.

    Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.

Press noodles lightly into sauce. Spread all the ricotta mixture over noodles. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese; top with 1-1/2 cups beef sauce. Top with remaining noodles in single layer; press into sauce. Top with remaining beef sauce.

  4. Bake in 375°F oven 45 minutes or until noodles are tender. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Let stand 15 minutes.
