Light and Lovely Lasagna

Light and Lovely Lasagna

 

Ingredients:
With Blonde Ambition's Spaghetti sauce found here
1 zucchini (sliced lengthwise and gently browned on both sides and salt and peppered)
8 lasagna noodles cooked al dente (might need to be cut down if using an 8x8)
1/2 cup nonfat or low fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup nonfat or low fat shredded mozzarella
1 egg
1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
additional shredded mozzarella and parmesan sprinkles for topping
freshly chopped parsley

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly spray an 8x8 baking dish.  (You can also use a 9x12 but your lasagna won't stack as high obviously)
In a small bowl, combine cottage cheese, mozzarella, egg and Italian seasoning and set aside.
You can now begin layering your lasagna in the following order:

Layer 1
1/3 of the meat mixture
4 lasagna noodles
1/2 of cottage cheese mixture

Layer 2
1/3 of the meat mixture
zucchini slices
1/2 of cottage cheese mixture

Layer 3
4 lasagna noodles
Remaining meat sauce
top with desired amount of shredded mozzarella and parmesan sprinkles

Place uncovered in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until hot and bubbly.  Let cool 5 minutes before cutting and serve with freshly chopped parsley to garnish the top.
