  • 1 cup, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 (15oz) carton skim milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, divided
  • 1 (8oz) package oven-ready lasagna noodles (12 noodles)
  • 1 (14.4oz) package frozen bell pepper and onion stir fry vegetables, thawed, patted dry with paper towels

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13×9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In 3-quart saucepan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes or until slightly tender, stirring frequently. Stir in flour, salt, pepper and Italian seasonings (mixture is very thick). Gradually stir in milk, whisking to blend thoroughly. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils. Cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese.

Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the remaining Parmesan cheese, the ricotta cheese, egg and 2 tablespoons of the parsley until well blended.

In baking dish, spread 1/2 cup of the white sauce. Lay 3 of the uncooked lasagna noodles crosswise over the sauce (they won’t cover the entire bottom, but will expand during baking). Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture (about 2/3 cup) over the noodles. Top evenly with 1/3 of the bell pepper mixture (about 2/3 cup). Spread 1/4 of the white sauce over peppers (about 3/4 cup). Top with 1/3 of the beans (about 2/3 cup). Sprinkle with 1/4 of the shredded cheese (about 1/2 cup). Repeat the layers 2 times. Lay remaining 3 noodles on top; spread with remaining 3/4 cup white sauce and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese. Spray sheet of foil with cooking spray. Cover lasagna, sprayed side down.

Bake 45 minutes or until bubbly and temperature in center reads 165°F. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons parsley. Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes. Cut in squares to serve.
