What You Need

lb. lean ground beef

jar (24 oz.) spaghetti sauce

1-2/3

cups water

1/4

cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing

green peppers, chopped

cloves garlic, minced

oven-ready lasagna noodle, broken into quarters

cup KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese

It's for dipping and dunking and mixing-upping. And yes, for salad too.

Make It

BROWN meat in large saucepan; drain.

ADD next 5 ingredients; mix well. Bring to boil. Stir in noodles; cover.

COOK on medium-low heat 10 to 15 min. or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese; cover. Let stand 5 min. or until cheese is melted.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Special Extra

Stir 1/2 cup POLLY-O Original Ricotta Cheese into noodle mixture before sprinkling with shredded cheese.

Shortcut

Traditional lasagna can take up to 2 hours to prepare. Our version only takes 35 minutes. You save almost 1-1/2 hours!

Variation

Substitute 12 regular lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces, for the oven-ready noodles. Increase water to 2 cups and cook 30 min., stirring occasionally.

We make this often. I have also used mini farfelle (picollini) and it works great. I use about 2 cups. An easy recipe for a beginner cook as well.

Love this with garlic bread! I use reg lasagna noodles and it turns out great. Make sure to break the noodles up in very small pieces, especially if you have little ones because you'll have to cut them up smaller anyway! I cook the meat with extra garlic, italian seasoning, and a little beer for flavor. I'd imagine it would be pretty bland if I didn't. I don't use green peppers and we sprinkle the cheese into our individual services, so the leftovers keep well. Everyone loves this in my house and it's sooo easy to fix!

I've made this many times and it's always really yummy! I do not add the green peppers, as no one in our house likes them. I do add a little italian seasoning though. I also always have used the regular lasagna noodles and cooked it for the full 30 minutes--it works fine! Leftovers (if there are any) are great too!

Everyone in my family thought it was really good. Tasted just like lasagna without all the hassle. 10 times easier and really nummy. I miced my green peppers really small so the kids would eat it but the flavor was still there. Everybody said I should make it again for dinner. I have kids aged 11,9,3 and 1 and everybody loved it!

Love, Love, Love this recipe. It was so fast & easy. I, actually, prepared the recipe the night before. After Church, I brought it to a boil & added my lasagna noodles & wa-la! You can add some Italian Seasoning or Fresh Basil if you want to add even more Italian flavor!
