Using uncooked noodles makes the traditional time-consuming task of preparing lasagna a little easier. A few seasonings boost the flavor of store-bought spaghetti sauce.—Kathy Demler, Emporia, Kansas

Ingredients

2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1-1/2 cups small-curd cottage cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 pound ground beef, cooked and drained
3-1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
9 uncooked lasagna noodles
1/4 cup water
Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; set aside. In another bowl, combine the spaghetti sauce and beef; mix well.
Spoon a fourth of the meat sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with three noodles and half of the cheese mixture; repeat layers once. Top with a fourth of the meat sauce, remaining noodles and remaining meat sauce. Pour water around edges. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Cover and bake at 375° for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer or until noodles are tender. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Definetely a keeper! I was skeptical about the noodles cooking well, but they did! Next time I'll put a little more sauce on top to keep the upper layer of noodles from drying out, and use more sauce overall. So much faster than traditional lasagna and just as good!
