  • 16
    dried lasagna noodles
  • 1
    pound andouille sausage or smoked pork sausage, quartered lengthwise and sliced
  • 1
    pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 2 - 3
    teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1
    teaspoon dried sage, crushed
  • 1/2
    cup chopped onion
  • 1/2
    cup chopped celery
  • 1/4
    cup chopped green sweet pepper

    10 ounce container refrigerated light Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2
    cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Nonstick cooking spray

    cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain; rinse. Combine sausage, chicken, Cajun seasoning, and sage. In a large skillet cook meat mixture 8 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from skillet using a slotted spoon, reserving drippings in skillet. Set meat mixture aside; keep warm. In same skillet cook onion, celery, sweet pepper, and garlic in drippings until vegetables are tender. Stir in meat mixture, one container of the Alfredo sauce, and Parmesan cheese.

2. Lightly coat a 13x9x2-inch baking dish or 3-quart rectangular casserole with nonstick spray. Arrange 4 noodles in bottom of dish. Spread with 2 cups of the meat-vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with noodles. Carefully spread remaining Alfredo sauce over the top (if sauce is too thick, heat slightly). Cover; bake 1 hour or until heated through. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes before carefully cutting. Makes 12 servings.

We also used a Cajun sausage and skipped the Cajun spice. I also cased the sausage and just browned it like regular ground sausage with the chicken. I did this as a make ahead meal (put it together the night before and just put it in the oven after I got home from work.) it turned out really good! I would just recommend adding more Alfredo sauce if you do this because it dried out slightly in the fridge.

We use a hot sausage from Maryland and skip the cajun spice. We've doubled all the vegetable ingredients to make the portion more solid. Whenever we make it there is usually no leftovers.

Everyone in my family likes this twist on lasagna. Nice blend of flavors. I've made it several times. Great for a potluck.

We serve this when we have company and there is never any left. It is a really good mix of mild and spicy.
