INGREDIENTS
30g Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (125g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1/4 medium Eggplant (75g)
1/4 medium Zucchini (50g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (125g)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella (28g)
75g Extra-Firm Tofu
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the whole wheat lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Slice the eggplant and zucchini into thin rounds. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and lightly grill the eggplant and zucchini slices until they are tender and have slight grill marks. Remove from heat.
In another pan, lightly sauté the spinach until just wilted. Crumble the extra-firm tofu into small cubes and stir it into the spinach to warm through; season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a baking dish, start by spreading a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom. Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by dollops of low-fat ricotta cheese, then layer with grilled eggplant, zucchini, the spinach-tofu mixture, and a few spoonfuls of tomato sauce. Sprinkle a portion of the part-skim mozzarella on top.
Repeat the layering process until all components are used, finishing with a layer of tomato sauce and a final sprinkle of mozzarella.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty, layered vegetable lasagna as a nourishing meal any time of the day.
