EASY CHEESY LASAGNA

Like most of the new age families, we too supposedly follow a strict diet regime over the weekdays (note the special emphasis on supposedly). However Friday nights are off the hook & we decide to let the calories & the fat stack up.  The Lasagna just happens to be the perfect fit for a sinful weekend.

Ingredients

1 cup sausage cooked and grounded

2 cups shredded chicken cooked

2 ½ cups   Cheese, 

½ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided

½ cup mozzarella cheese

¼ cup chopped fresh spinach/parsley

1 egg, beaten

1 jar (24 oz.) spaghetti sauce (I used marinara sauce)

1 cup water

12 lasagna noodle strips, uncooked

Heat oven to 350°F/180°C.

Gently heat the sausage and chicken in a non-stick pan for 2 minutes and stir in the spaghetti sauce. Add 1 cup water to empty sauce jar; cover with lid and shake well. Add to meat mixture and stir until blended.

 Mix 1/4 cup Parmesan, spinach and egg until blended.

 Spread 1 cup meat sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish; top with layers of 3 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the cheese mixture and 1 cup meat sauce. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining noodles, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake  for 50 minutes to 1 hour and in between remove foil after 45 min. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting to serve. 

Perfect dinner for a Friday night!!!!
