For some reason I didn't expect this lasagna to be very good, but made it
because I'm trying to do a lot of cooking with this cookbook and was in the
mood for lasagna. But, it WAS very good. I used fatfree soy mozzarella
cheese. Spaghetti sauce comes in jars with almost 3 1/2 cups sauce. I
opened a second jar to get the four cups sauce the recipe calls for, but
next time I will just use salsa for the additional sauce since we always
seem to have an opened jar of that.

9 X 13" BAKING PAN; 12 PORTIONS
The beauty of this lasagna is that that noodles cook as the lasagna is
baking, eliminating the need to handle the hot noodles which shortens the
preparation time.
Saute=82 onions and garlic in skillet sprayed with nonfat cooking spray. Ad=

broccoli and about 3 tablespoons of water. Steam covered to partially
cook. Cook out excess water, if any.
In separate bowl, mix spaghetti sauce, remaining water, basil, oregano,
fennel seed and parsley.

noodles on the sauce, spread with 1/2 of ricotta cheese. Cover with
