  1 1/2 c  Water

  This lasagne is especially quick, because you don't need to cook the
  lasagne before assembling!
  
  In a medium bowl, stir together the spaghetti sauce and water.
  
  Combine ricotta cheese, egg substitute, 1/4 cup of the mozzarella
  cheese and pepper in a bowl. In a food processor or blender, add
  basil, Parmesan cheese and garlic; process until smooth. Add Italian
  dressing; process until blended. Fold basil mixture (pesto) into
  ricotta mixture.
  
  Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Spread 1 cup of the
  sauce over the bottom of the pan. Arrange 4 pieces of lasagne (3
  lengthwise, 1 widthwise) over the sauce. Cover with 1 1/2 cups of the
  sauce. Spread half the ricotta mixture on top. Arrange another 4
  pieces of lasagne over ricotta, and top with another cup of the
  sauce. Spread remaining ricotta mixture on top. Arrange final 4
  pieces of lasagne over ricotta mixture and cover with remaining sauce.
  
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover lasagne with foil and bake for 1
  hour and 5 minutes. Uncover lasagne, sprinkle remaining mozzarella
  cheese on top and bake an additional 5 minutes uncovered. Cover and
  let stand
       15    minutes before serving.
