INGREDIENTS
2 sheets Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles (60g)
1/3 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (77g)
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (60g)
1 medium Zucchini (100g)
1 cup Spinach (30g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (125g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
Fresh Basil sprigs (optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. Roughly chop the spinach and set aside.
In a bowl, gently mix the low-fat ricotta, low-fat cottage cheese, and half of the grated parmesan cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a small baking dish. Lay down the whole wheat lasagna noodles.
Layer on a portion of the ricotta-cottage cheese mixture, followed by a layer of sliced zucchini, spinach, and a drizzle of tomato sauce.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the layer.
Repeat the layers if your dish size allows, finishing with a final layer of tomato sauce and a sprinkle of the remaining parmesan cheese and optional fresh basil.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the noodles are slightly crisp.
Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before serving.
