I know I haven't been around much, but I just wanted to stop in and say hello. I thought I'd have all kinds of time with the kids in school. What *was* I thinking!!!!?????
Just thought I'd share a recipe that I concocted tonight. It was really delicious. Dh went back for thirds and everyone else cleaned their plates too! I served it up with some Italian Shake and Bake chicken breasts, but I think I'll just have some with a green salad for lunch tomorrow.
Don't Tell Them It's Healthy Lasagna
1 box whole wheat lasagna noodles
1 pkg partly skimmed mozzerella cheese
Tomato Sauce:
2 Tbsp. Olive oil
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup zucchini, finely chopped
½ cup carrot, grated
5 medium brown mushrooms, chopped
1 small red pepper, finely chopped
Sautee all of the ingredients above just until tender. The onions should be clear.
*Note: You can also add other veggies. I chopped up some leftover broccoli I had in the fridge. Chopped up cauliflower would be good too!
Add:
1 can of spaghetti sauce (I used 4 cheese)
1 – 16 oz. can of diced tomatoes complete with juice (do not drain)
Heat through. At the end add 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil.
Note: The sauce should be quite thin as the noodles will absorb the excess.
Middle layer:
1 16 oz. Container of 1% cottage cheese
1 pkg frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and well drained (squeeze the water out)
2 eggs
¼ cup parmesan cheese
Mix together and add ¼ tsp each of salt and pepper
Building the lasagna:
Line a 9 x 13 pan with tin foil (makes clean up super easy). Put a thin layer of sauce in bottom of pan. Place a single layer of noodles (don't bother cooking them!). Put a layer of sauce, a layer of noodles. Put the entire cottage cheese spinach mixture next. Put a layer of noodles and a final layer of sauce. Top with lowfat mozzarella cheese. Bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 20 minutes before serving.
