My lasagna recipe is a fav that has evolved over time. This recipe is so easy I should make it more often.
The short cuts I've found have helped simplify the recipe.
One of the challenges opportunities I have found in our family is that not everyone is a ricotta fan. And, I don't like lasagna based on cottage cheese (Ew-w-w!). So, I have made this recipe without either. It's cheesy homey goodness!
This post is my first attempt at food photography, so you'll find me experimenting with the camera. It's been interesting and fun!

Lasagna With Italian Meat Sauce
without Ricotta Cheese
Prep: 15 min.; Cook: 1 hr., 45 min.
Ingredients -
Lasagna
1 (16-ounce) package dried precooked
lasagna noodles
6 cup s(12 ounces) shredded Italian
three-blend cheese*
2 oz Parmesan cheese
Parsley (about 1 cup fresh)
basil
4 egg whites
1 tbsp
oregano
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Prepare noodles per package.
To keep the noodles moist, layer the noodles on a baking sheet with a wet paper towel between each layer. Cover the top layer with
wet paper towels.

Preheat oven to 350°.
Prepare 13- x 9-inch baking dish coated
with cooking spray.
Stir together ingredients through
pepper and set aside.
Spread 1 1/2 cups Italian Meat Sauce in
dish.
Arrange 3 noodles over meat sauce.
Top with half of cheese mixture and 1
1/2 cups Italian Meat Sauce and more noodles.
Top with remaining cheese mixture and 1
1/2 cups Italian Meat Sauce.
Arrange 3 noodles over sauce and top
with remaining 1 1/2 cups Italian Meat Sauce.
Sprinkle evenly with remaining 3/4 cup
cheese.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake, covered with foil, at 350° for
50 minutes to 1 hour.
Uncover and bake 5 more minutes. Remove
from oven; let stand 15 minutes.
* Notes
If I don't have enough cheese, I
have used a Colby & Monterrey Jack blend. It's been a good
substitute.
When spooning sauce over the
noodles, it is important to cover the noodles completely with the
sauce. Otherwise, the noodles will dry and be crunchy.
