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

Tips:
- To make sure your lasagna is well-seasoned, don't be afraid to add extra Cajun seasoning to the meat sauce and ricotta cheese mixture. You can also adjust the heat level by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
- Use a variety of cheeses in your lasagna to create a rich and flavorful dish. A good combination is mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheese.
- Don't overcook the lasagna noodles. They should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the lasagna will be difficult to slice.
- Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set up properly.
