My husband is counting calories to lose weight and recently he sent me this recipe and asked me to make it for him. I did and the entire family enjoyed it. Surprisingly, one of our pickiest eaters gobbled it up! *Recipe is from the Lose It blog which is the app we use.
Lose It Lasagna
4 zucchini/squash
1/2 bag frozen crinkly cut carrots
1/2 bag frozen cut broccoli
15 oz. fat free ricotta
1 egg
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
oven ready lasagna noodles
1 3/4 cup fat free mozzarella
44 oz. pasta sauce
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brown hamburger in a large skillet, set aside. Cook squash and zucchini in remaining hamburger grease until tender on high about 5 minutes. Add frozen veggies and cook until they've defrosted - another 3-5 minutes. When all veggies are tender, add the hamburger back in and add most of the pasta sauce. Turn the heat down and let the sauce warm up to a simmer.
While the veggies are cooking, mix spices, salt, pepper, ricotta, egg and half of mozzarella in a bowl.
Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce on the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 pan, then place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles side by side. Use a rubber spatula to smear 2/5 of the ricotta mixture onto the noodles, then spread half of the meat/veggie mixture on top of that. Continue in that manner. Pour the remaining pasta sauce on top and top with remaining mozzarella.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15 more minutes. Cut into 12 pieces. (Each piece is 195 calories and chock full of veggies!)
