Ingredients

  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 cans or jars (24 oz each) garlic-and-herb tomato pasta sauce
  • 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups cooked crumbled Italian turkey sausage
  • 1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn (from 12-oz bag), thawed

  • 2
    In 9-inch square pan, spread 1/4 cup of the pasta sauce. Top with 3 noodles; spread 1 cup of the ricotta mixture over noodles. Layer with 1 cup pasta sauce and half each of the sausage, beans, corn and zucchini. Sprinkle zucchini with salt and pepper. Top with 1 cup pasta sauce and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Layer with 3 more noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, 1 cup pasta sauce and remaining sausage, beans, corn and zucchini. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Layer with remaining noodles, pasta sauce and shredded cheese.

    Cover with foil; bake 15 minutes. Uncover; bake 15 to 25 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Pair the lasagna with a side of cornbread and a salad of iceberg wedges drizzled with chipotle ranch dressing.
  • tip 2
    To make a vegetarian version, substitute precooked vegan sausage or soy-protein sausage crumbles for the turkey sausage.
  • tip 3
    When shopping for lasagna noodles for this recipe, look for the flat, homemade-style type. Not having to cook the noodles first is a real time-saver!
