  • Prepare layers: Smear spaghetti sauce (a few tablespoons) on bottom of 9x13 pan then 3 lasagna noodles. Next, smear spaghetti sauce (a few tablespoons) over noodles. Sprinkle half chicken mixture and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • Add a new layer of 3 lasagna noodles then smearing a few tablespoons of Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle half Andouillé sausage and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers by alternating chicken with spaghetti sauce with Andouille sausage with Alfredo sauce with three noodles in between the layers.
  • Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese, basil and oregano on very top of the last noodles and bake covered for one hour at 350 °F.
  • Once cooked, let lasagna set for about 15 minutes otherwise it will fall apart when you cut into it.Pour extra Alfredo and spaghetti sauce on top of each piece of lasagna before serving.

Destined to be a new favorite with all around the table, this zesty take on traditional Italian lasagna is a nod to the Gulf Coast. Increase the amount of Cajun seasoning if you like spicier fare. -Mary Lou Cook, Welches, Oregon

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!
