6 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Bake: 40 min.

Ingredients

1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 jar (14 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup water
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 to 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Crumble the sausage into a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover; microwave on high for 3-5 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, stirring once; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce, onion, green pepper, water, olives and salt.
In a greased 11-in. x 7-in. microwave-safe dish, layer 1-1/3 cups meat sauce, three noodles, 1/2 cup ricotta cheese and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Cover and microwave at 70% power for 21-24 minutes or until noodles are tender. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 45-60 seconds or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.
