Healthy Lasagne Recipe?

[yamfry50]

Hi everyone,

I'm really enjoying everyone's recipes here..and the one's I have tried turned out great! I'm having a family gathering next week, and wanted to offer a really good healthy lasagne recipe to my guests. I've made lasagne in the past, but looking for something a little different that isn't too complicated..any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I love this one -- it's my MIL's. Nine servings per pan.

10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained
15 oz (1 container, it's OK if it's 14 or 16 oz) fat free ricotta cheese
1/4 cup diced onion
1 cup and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, divided into those quantities
2 eggs, beaten, *or* 1/4 cup Eggbeaters/liquid egg whites
2 jars (15.5 oz each) or one large jar (30 oz) spaghetti sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon each: oregano, basil, garlic powder
pinch black pepper
1/2 package lasagna noodles (8 oz), uncooked, 3 noodles per layer, 3 layers in all, so 9 noodles (if you have a bigger pan than my dinky one, you might be able to use 4 noodles per layer)
1 cup water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, egg, spinach, onion,
salt, other spices.

In a greased 13x9" pan (or whatever baking dish you have around),
layer 1/2 cup sauce, then at least 3 noodles, then
half of the cheese mix.

Repeat.

Top with remaining noodles, then remaining sauce.

Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella.

Pour water around the edges. Cover tightly with foil.

Bake 1hr 15 mins, or until bubbling. Let stand 15 min.

This is mine - quick and healthy veggie lasagne w yogurt "sauce".

I don't really have exact measurements written down so i am approximating below:

- Boil WW lasagne sheets until still very al dente, enough for 2 layers of your pan (i use about 7 sheets for a 9x9" pan)
- Saute lots of veggies in very little oil -- chopped onion, mushrooms, zucchini, summer squash, peppers, spinach etc (i guess i use about 4 cups but never really measure)
- Add your favorite marinara-type sauce (jar, fresh, or just tinned tomatoes with herbs) and cook a few minutes
- Stir in 1 tin of beans (i like kidney beans and/or garbanzos, you could use a lean meat instead)
- Layer the lasagne in the dish: veggies - noodles - veggies - noodles.
- Cover the top layer of noodles with low-fat plain yogurt (i mix mine with some black pepper and parsley)
- Sprinkle with grated cheese if you like (i like!).
- Bake @400 covered for ~30 mins then uncovered for ~15 mins.
