• 2 teaspoons Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 9 sheets Whole-wheat lasagna noodles
• 2 cups Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook until no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

While the sauce simmers, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set them aside.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, egg, and fresh parsley until well combined.

Step 7

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of the chicken tomato sauce on the bottom of the dish.

Step 9

Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping if necessary.

Step 10

Spread one-third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by one-third of the mozzarella cheese and one-third of the chicken sauce.

Step 11

Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a layer of chicken sauce on top.

Step 12

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 13

Cover the dish with aluminum foil, ensuring it is tightly sealed, and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 14

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden and bubbly.

Step 15

Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
