Ingredients

6

uncooked lasagna noodles

1

package (10 oz) frozen Italian-style soy-protein sausages

1

container (15 oz) ricotta cheese

1/2

cup grated Parmesan cheese (2 oz)

1

egg

1

jar (26 oz) spicy red pepper pasta sauce

1

teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/3

cup water

8

oz mozzarella-style soy cheese, shredded (2 cups)

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. Cook and drain noodles as directed on package.

Unwrap sausages; place on large microwavable plate. Microwave uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes, turning sausages once, until slightly thawed. Cut sausages into 1/4-inch slices.

In medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese and the egg. In another medium bowl, mix pasta sauce, Italian seasoning and water.

In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, spread about 1/2 cup pasta sauce mixture. Top with 3 noodles, half of the ricotta mixture and half of the sausage pieces. Top with about 1 1/4 cups remaining pasta sauce mixture and half of the soy cheese. Repeat with remaining noodles, ricotta mixture, sausage, pasta sauce mixture and soy cheese. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

Bake uncovered 35 to 45 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 10 minutes before serving.
