• 1 jar (700 mL) tomato pasta sauce
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) 18% table cream
• 1/3 cup (75 mL) chopped fresh basil
• 2 cups (500 mL) light Canadian Ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) grated carrot (about 1 carrot)
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh dill

preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 13 x 9-inch (3 L) baking dish. In a bowl combine pasta sauce, cream and basil. In another bowl mix Canadian Ricotta cheese, carrot, dill and pepper.
2. Spread 1/2 cup (125 mL) tomato cream sauce in prepared baking dish. Top with four lasagna noodles in a single layer, trimmed to fit and not overlap. Spread half of the Ricotta mixture, top with half of the shrimp and one-third of the tomato cream sauce and half of the Canadian Parmesan cheese.
3. Top with four more noodles, the remaining Ricotta mixture, the remaining shrimp, half of the remaining tomato cream sauce and the remaining Canadian Parmesan cheese. Finish with remaining noodles and tomato cream sauce. Top with Canadian Swiss cheese.
4. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 minutes or until noodles are tender but firm and the sauce is bubbling. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.
