lasagna

it's low-fat and a real time-saver since you don't cook the noodles before baking Ingredients 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean) 1 small onion, chopped 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes 1-3/4 cups water 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste 1 envelope spaghetti sauce mix 1 Eggland's Best Egg, lightly beaten 2 cups (16 ounces) fat-free cottage cheese 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 6 uncooked lasagna noodles 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese Directions In a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, water, tomato paste and spaghetti sauce mix. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, combine the egg, cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese. Spread 2 cups meat sauce in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with three noodles, half of the cottage cheese mixture and half of the remaining meat sauce. Repeat layers. Cover and bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Uncover; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Yield: 9 servings.
