INGREDIENTS
2 oz whole wheat lasagna noodles
1/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 cup cooked spinach
1/2 medium zucchini
1/4 medium eggplant
1/2 cup tomato sauce (no added sugar)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Cook whole wheat lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the chopped zucchini and diced eggplant until slightly tender.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta and cottage cheese. Add in the cooked spinach and mix until well blended.
Layer the dish by spreading a small amount of the vegetable tomato sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, followed by a layer of the cheese and spinach mixture, and then a drizzle of the vegetable sauce.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a light layer of sauce on top. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the layers meld together and the top is slightly golden.
Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before serving.
