INGREDIENTS
2 lasagna noodle sheets (60g total)
2 tablespoons homemade pesto sauce (30g total)
100g zucchini, sliced
50g celery, sliced
1 large egg, beaten
100g low-fat cottage cheese
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of water and cook the lasagna noodle sheets according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the sliced zucchini and celery with a tiny drizzle of olive oil (or use a non-stick spray) for about 3-4 minutes until just tender yet crisp.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten. Pour the egg into a lightly preheated nonstick pan and scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat.
To assemble the dish, spread the pesto sauce evenly over the cooked lasagna noodles.
Layer the sautéed zucchini and celery atop the pesto-coated noodles.
Gently fold in the scrambled egg and then finish with a dollop of low-fat cottage cheese spread over the top for a creamy finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced blend of flavors in this innovative twist on traditional lasagna.
