Petite Lasagna

Store-bought spaghetti sauce simplifies preparation of this loaf-size lasagna from Kathy Coble of Missouri City, Texas. With a salad on the side, a serving of this Italian-style casserole makes a hearty meal.

2 ServingsPrep: 30 min. Bake: 30 min. + standing

Ingredients

5 lasagna noodles
1/2 pound ground beef
1/4 cup each chopped onion, green pepper and fresh mushrooms
1 jar (14 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large
skillet, cook the beef, onion, green pepper and mushrooms over
medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the
spaghetti sauce. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally. In a small bowl, combine the egg, ricotta cheese,
Parmesan cheese, parsley and Italian seasoning. Drain noodles.
Spread 1/4 cup meat sauce in a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Trim
noodles to fit pan. Place two noodles over meat sauce; layer with a
third of the cheese mixture, a third of the remaining meat sauce and
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers twice, using noodle
trimmings in top layer. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35
minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Let stand for
