INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 cup Nonfat Cottage Cheese
1 large Egg White
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to resemble lasagna noodles. Set aside.
Chop the red bell pepper into strips.
In a bowl, toss the zucchini slices and red bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the egg white and mix it into the nonfat cottage cheese to boost the protein content.
Prepare your serving dish by spreading a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.
Layer the roasted zucchini slices, then add a layer of the cottage cheese mixture and a few strips of red bell pepper. Drizzle a little marinara sauce over the layers.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of marinara sauce.
(Optional) Broil for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the top.
Allow the lasagna to rest for a few minutes before serving to help the layers set.
