Recipe: EZ Cheesy Zucchini Lasagna
Ingredients:
Makes 2 servings
2 tbsp liquid egg whites (about 1 egg white)
1/2 cup light or low-fat ricotta cheese
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1/2 tsp chopped garlic
1/4 tsp salt
Dash ground nutmeg
Four 1/4-inch thick zucchini slices (cut lengthwise from long zucchini)
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning
2 sheets oven-ready lasagna noodles
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping
Optional seasoning: black pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix egg whites, ricotta cheese, basil, garlic, salt, and nutmeg.
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat.
Cook zucchini strips until softened, about 3 minutes per side.
Remove zucchini, and pat dry. Remove skillet from heat, re-spray, and return to medium-high heat.
Cook and stir mushrooms until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir mushrooms into ricotta mixture.
In another medium bowl, mix crushed tomatoes with Italian seasoning.
Evenly layer ingredients in the loaf pan: 1/4 cup seasoned tomatoes, 1 lasagna sheet, half of
the mushroom-ricotta mixture, 1/4 cup seasoned tomatoes, 2 zucchini slices.
Repeat layering with remaining ingredients.
Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and grated topping. Bake until cheese is lightly browned, 20 - 25 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
