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.

Very good. Lasagna without all the baking time! I added 3/4 cup ricotta cheese and not as much mozzarella cheese at the end. Yum yum!

Basically glorified goolash. Braking the noodles seemed a little overboard when you can just buy rotini. However, my family really liked it!

This was very good. I used regular lasagna noodles and it worked just fine. Everybody in my family liked it and we will be making this one again.

Good, quick and easy.....I would use less noodles or a different type next time.

I added 1/2 container of Ricotta to the recipe. It was very good and I would definitely make it again. I would probably add a little more sauce and water the next time; but it is an excellent one pot dinner!!

The only thing I would change.... I would add a half of an onion or more and I would add more sauce. We also put a little Parmesan Cheese on top =) I could see myself doctoring it up even more next time maybe adding spinach and some Ricotta Cheese yummy

This was good but I felt it needed more sauce. I would make it again but I would add sauce & onions.

Surprisingly easy and fast. My first time using the oven-ready noodles and was skeptic but they cooked down right nice. Used ground turkey vice beef. The italian dressing was a bit strong for me so I'll probably use a tad less next time. But it was so fast. I'll definitely make it again.
