INGREDIENTS
2 sheets whole wheat lasagna noodles (56g)
1/3 cup low-fat ricotta cheese (78g)
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (28g)
1 large egg
1/2 cup tomato sauce (123g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1/2 cup sautéed zucchini (83g)
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper (75g)
1 tablespoon fresh basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Lightly cook the whole wheat lasagna noodles according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat ricotta with the beaten egg until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce at the bottom of a small baking dish.
Layer one noodle, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over it.
Add a layer of sautéed zucchini, chopped red bell pepper, and fresh spinach.
Drizzle a little tomato sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle with some shredded mozzarella.
Repeat the layering: another noodle, the remaining ricotta mixture, and the vegetable mix, finished with a generous layer of tomato sauce and the rest of the mozzarella.
Top with a final lasagna noodle, spread any remaining tomato sauce on top, and garnish with fresh basil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
