pink remains, stirring once during cooking to separate
meat. Spoon off fat. Stir in spaghetti sauce; set

Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine soup and milk. In
another small bowl, combine ricotta and 1/4 cup of
parmesan. In 13x9" baking dish, spread 1-1/2 cups of
meat sauce. Top with 3 lasagna noodles, spread with
1/2 of soup mixture, 1/2 of cheese mixture, and 1/3 of
remaining meat sauce. Repeat layers. Top with

Cover with foil. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Uncover,
sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan. Bake 10
minutes more or until hot and bubbling. Let stand 10
minutes before serving.
TIP: In northern Italy, many lasagna recipes often
use a creamy white sauce along with the traditional
red sauce.
