Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Lasagna Noodle
  • 0.08 tsp Andouille Sausage, quartered sliced
  • 0.08 oz Chicken Breast Half, skinless boneless cut
  • 1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp Sage
  • 1/2 medium onion Onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks Celery, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Red Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Alfredo Sauce, divided
  • 2 tbsp Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine sausage, chicken, Cajun seasoning and sage. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, about 8 minutes. Remove meat from skillet with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Saute onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic until tender. Remove from heat, and stir in cooked meat and one container Alfredo sauce.
  3. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover bottom with 4 lasagna noodles. Spread with 1/2 of the meat mixture. Repeat layers, and cover with a layer of noodles. Spread remaining Alfredo sauce over top. Top with mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
