INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Zucchini, sliced
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
1 clove Garlic
1/2 small Onion
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until they become soft and translucent.
Add the sliced zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until lightly tender.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow the mixture to simmer for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, gently fold the fresh spinach into the low-fat ricotta cheese.
Layer the cooked lasagna noodles in a small baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the ricotta-spinach mixture over the noodles, then add a layer of the veggie and tomato sauce mixture.
Evenly distribute the grilled chicken breast pieces over the layers.
Repeat layering if desired, finishing with a top layer of the ricotta-spinach spread.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
