INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles (dry)
1 medium Zucchini
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 cups raw Spinach
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (No Added Sugar)
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 large Egg
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Dice the zucchini and red bell pepper into small pieces. Roughly chop the spinach.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese with the egg, stirring until smooth. This will help bind the filling.
Layer a baking dish with a thin spread of tomato sauce on the bottom.
Place a layer of cooked noodles over the sauce, then spread a portion of the ricotta mixture on top. Scatter diced zucchini, red bell pepper, and spinach over the ricotta.
Drizzle a little olive oil and add a thin layer of tomato sauce. Repeat layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of tomato sauce on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to set slightly.
Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving.
