EVER SO EASY LASAGNA For Printer Friendly Version CLICK HERE

Use regular lasagna noodles and don't pre-cook them. For the easiest clean up ever, line your dish with parchment paper. A kid-friendly dish.

19 oz (540 mL) can stewed or pasta tomatoes*
1 cup pasta or spaghetti sauce (250 mL)
6 uncooked lasagna noodles
500 g container ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (250 mL)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (50 mL)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, optional (25 mL)

Line a 11 x 7 x 2 inch glass microwavable dish - a deep Pyrex dish - with Chefs Select Parchment Paper.

Combine tomatoes and sauce; spread one-third of mixture in bottom of dish. Arrange 3 noodles over the sauce. Spread noodles with half the ricotta cheese. Top with another third of sauce.

Repeat with remaining 3 noodles, remaining ricotta and sauce. Cover with plastic wrap, turning back one edge to vent. Microwave at high 10 minutes. Rotate dish, and microwave at Medium (50%) for 10 minutes or until noodles are tender when pierced with a knife.

Sprinkle with cheese, recover and let stand 10 minutes (this helps the noodles absorb liquid and melts cheese). Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Makes 4 - 6 servings.

*If using whole tomatoes, chop. An easy way to chop them is with your kitchen scissors - right in the can.
