INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini (approx 200g)
1 cup Spinach (30g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (125g)
1/2 cup Mushrooms (35g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (125g)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella (28g)
1 large Egg
Fresh Basil sprigs
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips to serve as noodle substitutes. Optionally, lightly salt them and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess water, then pat dry.
In a bowl, whisk together the low-fat ricotta cheese and the egg until smooth. Stir in the fresh basil leaves, roughly torn, for added flavor.
In a lightly greased baking dish, begin by layering a portion of the zucchini slices. Add a thin layer of spinach and scatter the sliced mushrooms over the greens.
Pour a layer of tomato sauce evenly over the vegetables.
Spread half of the ricotta and egg mixture over the sauce, then repeat the layers with remaining zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, the rest of the tomato sauce, and top with the remaining ricotta mixture.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the zucchini are tender.
Allow the lasagna to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra fresh basil as desired.
