Ingredients:

Servings: 6

For The Lasagna

• 2 cups ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 lb lasagna noodle, cooked
• 1/2 lb grated mozzarella cheese
• salt and pepper

For the sauce

• 1 3/4 cups tomato puree
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons oregano
• 1/2 cup finely chopped vegetables (such as mushrooms, celery, spinach, or onions)

Directions:

1. Mix the ricotta, parmesan, egg, and basil in a bowl. Add in the salt and pepper.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 13"x9" pan (2" deep) with cooking spray. Take the noodles and set them non-overlapping in the bottom of the pan. Spread half the cheese mixture over the noodles. Now spread some tomato sauce over the cheese. Sprinkle mozzarella on top. Repeat until you have a layer of noodles resting at the top of the pan, at which point you may add the remainder of the sauce and bake for 20 minutes.
3. Let cool for ten minutes, then serve. (Note: This is not really intended for cats.).
