OVEN READY VEGETARIAN LASAGNA

New Year’s Day I was looking for something easy and comforting to make for dinner. I stumbled upon a recipe using oven ready lasagna noodles and converted it to a vegetarian version by using Morning Star Crumbles instead of ground beef.  The prep was simple and the results were delicious.  Who thought lasagna could be this easy?

  • 4. In a 9" x 13" pan, spread approximately 1 1/2 cups of the sauce. Place 1/3 of the noodles over sauce. Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture over noodles. Top with 1/3 of remaining sauce. Repeat layering once. Top with remaining noodles, then sauce.

  • 6. Let stand 10 minutes sealed in the foil before cutting and serving.

Notes

Oven ready noodles do not need to be boiled before placing in lasagna dish. The sauce in the lasagna will cook the noodles during the baking process.
