HEARTBURN-FRIENDLY TOMATO SAUCE-FREE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions, or just until tender. Drain well. While the noodles are cooking, continue with the rest of the recipe.
• Spray cooking spray onto a large, non-stick pan. Add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until it is browned and no longer pink. Drain the liquid.
• In a large bowl, add the browned beef and beef broth. Mix together.
• To make the low-fat Alfredo sauce, combine cream cheese, about one-fourth of the milk, and flour in a small mixing bowl. Beat until well-blended. Slowly pour in the remaining milk and beat until smooth.
• Melt butter in a large, nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add the milk-cream cheese mixture. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened.
• Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Turn off the heat.
• Spread 1 cup of the low-fat Alfredo sauce over the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking pan. Add three strips of cooked lasagna noodles to cover the sauce. Spread half the beef mixture on top.
• Lay down another three strips of lasagna noodles. Spread the remaining beef mixture on top. Then, lay down the remaining three strips of lasagna noodles.
• Spread the very top with the remaining Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until bubbly and golden. Remove from heat and let cool for 3-4 minutes before serving.
