INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
2 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
80g Eggplant, sliced
80g Zucchini, sliced
40g Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Canned Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant, zucchini, and red bell pepper into even pieces. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
While vegetables roast, cook the whole wheat lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a small saucepan, warm the tomato sauce with a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of chopped basil.
In a baking dish, start with a thin layer of tomato sauce, then layer lasagna noodles, a portion of roasted vegetables, dollop part-skim ricotta evenly, add a layer of fresh spinach, and sprinkle a bit of shredded mozzarella. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of tomato sauce and a sprinkling of mozzarella and basil on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese melts and the layers are heated through.
Let the lasagna cool slightly before serving to enjoy the melted, layered textures and aromatic flavors.
