This tasty Italian casserole is a snap to make. The dry pasta will absorb the extra liquid while cooking so you can say goodbye to runny lasagna!

Ingredients

1 spray(s) cooking spray   
52 oz store bought marinara sauce   
1 Tbsp olive oil   
  1 medium uncooked onion(s), chopped   
  1 pound(s) uncooked extra lean ground chicken breast   
  30 oz fat-free ricotta cheese   
  2 large egg white(s), lightly beaten   
1 tsp garlic powder   
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning   
9 item(s) uncooked lasagna noodles   
  20 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry   
1 1/2 cup(s) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large, deep lasagna pan with cooking spray. Measure 2 cups of marinara sauce; set aside.

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until almost tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken; cook until no longer pink, stirring frequently, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add remaining marinara sauce to skillet and stir until well combined; set aside.

  • Mix together ricotta cheese, egg whites, garlic powder and Italian seasoning in a large bowl until well combined.

  • To assemble lasagna, place 2 cups of reserved marinara sauce on bottom of dish. Layer with 3 noodles, 1/3 of ricotta mixture, 1/3 of spinach, 1/3 of mozzarella cheese and 1/3 of chicken-sauce mixture; repeat layers ending with chicken-sauce mixture. (Make sure to spread ingredients to edge of noodles.)

  • Cover baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake lasagna for 20 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and bake until cheese is melted and edges are bubbly, about 20 minutes more. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces.

Notes

  • If your pan is not very deep, only use two layers of noodles and reduce the filling ingredients by 1/3. Use Recipe Builder to calculate any change in the recipe's PointsPlus value.

Made this with a variation. Instead of noodles, I used zucchini sliced lengthwise. It takes off 5 points, and it is good!

I substituted the chicken with ground turkey. It was delicious!I let the noodles cook in the oven which wasn't bad at all. I ate it over a few days.

I'm single, so I cut this recipe in half. Also, I didn't have any marinara sauce, so I used pasta sauce w/basil & tomatoes. I LOVED THIS LASAGNE. This was, so far, the best WW recipe that I've tried. I will now freeze half of the leftovers and save one more serving to eat tomorrow night!!! This is a MAJOR YUM!
