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.
