Pudding Fruit Salad

Easy Vegetable Lasagna Recipe



Ingredients

  • 1 pound zucchini trimmed and sliced thin lengthwise
  • 9 ounces fresh spinach chopped
  • 24 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 3 ounces parmesan
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 24 ounces marinara
  • 12 ounces part-skim mozzarella
  • 12 ounces gluten free lasagna noodles cooked according to package directions

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet to medium heat and spray with oil. Season zucchini strips with salt and pepper. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes. (The cooking time will vary according to how thinly you slice your zucchini.) Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Spray the pan again and add the spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts. Transfer to a plate lined with a clean towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan, egg, garlic, basil, parsley and crushed red pepper. Stir in spinach and season with salt and pepper.
  • Coat a 13 x 9 casserole dish with cooking spray and spread 1/2 cup of the  Marinara on the bottom. Top with a layer of noodles, a layer of zucchini, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture and mozzarella. Spread 1/3 of the remaining marinara and repeat the layers. End with a layer of noodles, marinara and remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes prior to serving.

Notes

Make It Vegan:

Use vegan ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella.  Most pasta is vegan but double check!

Make it Keto / Low Carb:

Make sure all of your cheeses are full fat.  Marinara should be sugar-free.  Omit the lasagna noodles and use zucchini in place of it.  To do this, use a mandolin, food processor, or very sharp knife to cut zucchini into ribbons.  Bake the ribbons in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes, and then transfer to paper towels to absorb any extra moisture.  Use the prepared zucchini ribbons in place of the lasagna.
