INGREDIENTS
1 medium Zucchini (196g)
1 cup Sliced Mushrooms (70g)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (75g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
200g Extra Firm Tofu
50g Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (122g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1/4 cup Diced Onion (40g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (5g)
3 Fresh Basil leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to serve as your lasagna noodles. Lightly salt them and let them rest to remove excess moisture.
Heat a non-stick pan with olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add in the sliced mushrooms and diced red bell pepper, cooking until they soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a blender or food processor, combine the extra firm tofu, low-fat cottage cheese, nutritional yeast, and fresh basil. Blend until smooth to form a creamy cheese mixture.
In a lightly oiled baking dish, create layers starting with a single layer of zucchini strips, followed by the sautéed veggie mix, a layer of fresh spinach, and dollops of the tofu-cottage cheese mixture.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of zucchini on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes to allow the top layer to lightly brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve warm as a wholesome, veggie-packed lasagna.
