CAJUN CHICKEN LASAGNA
This lasagna has just the right amount of zing to it. The key to this is the andouille sausage...probably not good for anyone counting calories either! The meat mixture would be good served over fettuccine noodles, if you would like to save time

Haven't tried this yet but it looks interesting! A little something different for those who are tired of the traditional Lasagna. I would be tempted to add additional layers of cheese, because I love cheese!

- Be generous with the sauce. Lasagna is a saucy dish, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it.
- Layer the lasagna properly. Start with a layer of sauce, then pasta, then cheese, then another layer of sauce, and so on. Repeat until you reach the top of the pan.
- Bake the lasagna until it is bubbly and golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
