Simple Spinach Lasagna - 7 pts. per serving
I've been looking for a good spinach lasagna recipe for awhile, and this is it! My husband is a meat lover, and he loves this! He doesn't complain one bit that this is meatless. (Of course you could add meat if you wanted to!)
Prep Time: approx. 30 minutes
Cook Time: approx. 1 hour 10 minutes
Makes 8 servings
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1-10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-32 ounce jar spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup water (Or less depending on how thick you like your sauce. I usually use less.)
2 cups 1% cottage cheese (You can also use nonfat cottage cheese.)
1-8 ounce package part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg
8 ounces lasagna noodles
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large pot over medium heat saute spinach, onion, oregano, basil and garlic in the olive oil. Pour in spaghetti sauce and water; simmer 20 minutes. In a large bowl mix cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, pepper and egg.
3. Place a small amount of sauce in the bottom of a lasagna pan. Place 4 uncooked noodles on top of sauce and top with layer of sauce. Add 4 more noodles and layer with 1/2 sauce and 1/2 cheese mixture, noodles and repeat until all is layered, finishing with sauce.
4. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven for 55 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
