Healthy Summer Squash and Spinach Lasagna
A light twist on traditional lasagna that replaces heavy pasta with thinly sliced summer squash layers, combined with fresh spinach, a creamy ricotta and egg mixture, and a hint of tomato sauce. This dish delivers a satisfying blend of textures and flavors, perfect for a nutritious meal at any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium Summer Squash (Zucchini)
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (No Sugar Added)
1 clove Minced Garlic
1 small Chopped Onion
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the summer squash lengthwise into thin strips to serve as your pasta substitute.
In a pan over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in a small amount of olive oil (optional, if oil fits within your macro goals) until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the tomato sauce to the pan, stirring briefly, then remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the egg until smooth. Stir in the fresh spinach roughly chopped.
Begin assembling the lasagna: spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a small baking dish. Layer with a few strips of squash, then spread half of the ricotta-spinach mixture over the squash. Drizzle a little tomato sauce on top.
Repeat the layers with the remaining squash slices and ricotta mixture. Top with the remaining tomato sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the lasagna is heated through and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Let the lasagna stand for 5 minutes before serving.
