Ingredients

  •   PAMŪ Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
  • 2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise, sliced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 4 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms (4 oz = 1-1/4 cups)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 container (15 oz each) part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 can (26.5 oz each) Hunt'sŪ Traditional Spaghetti Sauce
  • 8 dry no-boil flat lasagna noodles, uncooked
  • 1/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. Spray large skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add zucchini, onion, mushrooms and garlic; cook 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Set aside.
  2. Combine ricotta cheese and parsley in small bowl; set aside.
  3. Spread about 1/2 cup of the spaghetti sauce evenly onto bottom of prepared dish; top with 2 of the noodles. Cover with layers of 1/4 of the remaining sauce, 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1/3 of the vegetables. Repeat layers 2 more times, beginning with noodles and ending with vegetables. Top with remaining 2 noodles and remaining sauce; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Cover with aluminum foil sprayed lightly with cooking spray, sprayed-side down.
  4. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake an additional 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Cook's Tips
    For a chunkier sauce, add one 14.5-ounce can Hunt'sŪ Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic and Oregano, drained, to the spaghetti sauce.
