Submitted by Ben's Mom

"Very easy to make. You don't have to precook the noodles. Use hot or mild salsa depending on your taste. I am a vegetarian so leave chicken out of half of the dish."

this was very easy to make and tasted good too. i used the pre-cooked lasagna noodles and it is now a keeper. i did not add the olives, and substituted low fat sour cream and low fat jack cheese.
