INGREDIENTS
1 medium Zucchini (~196g)
1/2 medium Eggplant (~150g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (~125g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (~30g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (~125g)
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (~28g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~5g)
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils (~100g)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
1 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini and eggplant lengthwise into thin strips. Lightly brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Grill or roast the zucchini and eggplant slices for about 3-4 minutes per side until they are slightly tender.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat ricotta cheese with chopped fresh basil and dried oregano. Stir in the cooked lentils for added protein.
Begin assembling the lasagna in a baking dish by spreading a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.
Layer the dish with grilled zucchini slices, then dollop and spread a portion of the ricotta-lentil mixture, and add a layer of eggplant slices.
Sprinkle a handful of fresh spinach over the layers, then add another thin layer of marinara sauce.
Repeat the layering process as desired, finishing with a top layer of zucchini, a drizzle of marinara, and a sprinkle of shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Place the assembled lasagna in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
