Lasagna made easy with a jarred marinara sauce and no boiling needed for the lasagna noodles.

Makes 12 servings.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

INGREDIENTS

2 containers (15 ounces each) ricotta cheese
1 package (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese (2 cups), divided
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon McCormick® Perfect Pinch® Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
1 jar (24 to 26 ounces) marinara sauce
9 uncooked lasagna noodles
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning and garlic powder until well blended. Pour marinara sauce into bowl. Pour 1/2 cup water into empty jar; cover and shake well. Add to marinara sauce; mix well.

2. Spread about 1 cup of the sauce on bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish. Top with 3 of the lasagna noodles. Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture over noodles. Repeat sauce, noodles and cheese layer once. Top with remaining noodles and sauce, making sure to cover noodles with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil.

3. Bake 45 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 15 minutes longer or until noodles are tender. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting. Serve with additional marinara sauce, if desired.

Measure 4 cups sauce from 2 jars (24 to 26 ounces each) marinara sauce. Stir into meat mixture. Reserve remaining marinara sauce for serving. Prepare lasagna as directed, using meat sauce for layering.
