Healthy Lasagna
Tomato Sauce: Sauté’- 3 tbsp. olive oil 1 sliced onion 2 tbsp. minced garlic 1 c. chopped green pepper 2 tsp basil 1-2 tsp. oregano salt and pepper
Brown onion until clear and soft. Then add- 1 small zucchini sliced with skin on 8 large mushrooms, sliced chunky 1/3 cup water Cook till tender (10 minutes), then add: 2 tbsp. tomato paste 1 large can diced tomatoes In a pot of boiling water (salted and olive oil, so noodles don't stick) Cook a box of Whole Wheat lasagna noodles (al dente) halfway and drain and add cold water to be able to handle noodles.
Filling: Mix- 3 c. lowfat cottage cheese 2 beaten eggs Salt and pepper (sm. amounts) 3 c. shredded low fat mozzarella cheese
Topping: 1 c. grated Reggiano Parmesano cheese In a sprayed 9 x 13 pan –add a small amount of sauce to bottom of pan then layer- 1/3 noodles, blotches of filling, 1/3 sauce, 1 c. mozzarella. Repeat 2 more times if you have enough, otherwise, just do twice. Finish with sauce then sprinkle the top with mozzerella and the grated Reggiano Parmesano cheese.
Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. This lasagna tastes even better after setting in the refrigerator overnight, then reheating.
Serves 6-8 people.
