INGREDIENTS
2 pieces Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles (approx. 56g total)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (125g)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (56g, shredded)
1 cup Marinara Sauce (250g)
1 medium Zucchini (196g, sliced)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (119g, sliced)
2 cups Fresh Spinach (60g total)
1 cup Mushrooms (70g, sliced)
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dried Basil and Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Prepare all vegetables by slicing the zucchini, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Rinse and pat dry the fresh spinach.
Lightly toss the zucchini, bell pepper, and mushrooms in olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes until they begin to soften.
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Lay down a few pieces of whole wheat lasagna noodles to cover the bottom.
Spread a layer of low-fat ricotta cheese over the noodles, then add roasted vegetables, fresh spinach, and a drizzle of marinara sauce.
Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of noodles topped with the remaining marinara sauce and a final sprinkle of part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the lasagna to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
