INGREDIENTS
1 large Zucchini (196g)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (119g)
1 portion Eggplant (60g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (62g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (110g)
100g Extra Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to serve as the lasagna noodles. Set aside.
Cut the red bell pepper and eggplant into thin slices. Toss them with olive oil, minced garlic, dried basil, and dried oregano.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
In a small bowl, gently mix the low-fat ricotta cheese and low-fat cottage cheese. Mash the extra firm tofu slightly and stir it into the cheese mixture to boost the protein content.
Lay out a zucchini strip in a small baking dish. Layer a spoonful of the roasted vegetables over it, then spread a thin layer of marinara sauce and the cheese-tofu blend. Repeat the layers a couple of times, finishing with a topping of low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Return the assembled lasagna to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melty and lightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of dried basil if desired.
