This meatless lasagna is jam-packed with
vitamins, minerals and fiber. Make it on days when you have time
to cook, then freeze the "planned-overs" in single-size
portions. |
1 Tbsp sherry cooking wine, dry
2 medium carrot(s), grated
1 large sweet red pepper(s), chopped
10 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
15 oz fat-free ricotta cheese
6 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano, or other Italian herbs
1/4 cup regular egg substitute
26 oz canned tomato sauce
8 oz dry lasagna noodles, spinach
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Coat a large, nonstick skillet with
cooking spray. Add dry cooking sherry and heat until it sizzles. Add
carrots and pepper; stir-fry until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove
from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine spinach,
ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and
egg substitute. Fold in carrots and pepper.
- Spread 1/2 cup of tomato sauce on the
bottom of a 9- x 13-inch casserole pan. Arrange a layer of lasagna
noodles over the sauce and spread half the cheese mixture over the
noodles. Pour 1 cup of tomato sauce over the cheese mixture. Repeat
the layers, ending with a layer of lasagna noodles topped with the
remaining tomato sauce.
- Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for
30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove and let
sit about 10 minutes before serving.
