Low Fat Spinach Lasagna

Submitted by: KARASTART
Low Fat Spinach Lasagna

Introduction

Great for pot lucks. Great for pot lucks.
Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    2 cups cottage cheese, 1% Milkfat (not packed)
    1 large egg, or equiv egg substitute
    2 cups mozzarella cheese, part skim milk
    1 jar spaghetti/marinara sauce (tomato sauce)
    1 pkg spinach, frozen (10 oz)
    9 lasagna noodles
    1 cup water
    1/8 tsp black pepper
    3/4 tsp oregano, ground

Directions

Preparation: In a large bowl mix thawed and drained spinach, cottage cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, egg and seasonings.
Spray cooking spray on a lasagna tray or 13x9x2 baking dish. Layer 1/2 cup sauce, 3 noodles and 1/2 cheese mixture. Repeat layer.
Top with remaining noodles then sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella.
You can also sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top. Pour water around the edges and put a few toothpicks on top. This will prevent the cheese from sticking to the foil.
Cover with foil and bake at 350* for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until lasagna is bubbly.
Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
Note: You can also substitute chopped broccoli for the spinach.

Number of Servings: 8

    Loved this recipe but added low fat ricotta instead of cottage cheese and used whole wheat lasagne noodles.
    And I can't live without garlic so added a couple of cloves of that as well as some fresh basil and oregeno, and also some shredded chicken. Turned out great. My hubby loved it & He is picky. - 9/12/07

    IMPORTANT: if you follow this recipe exactly, it will come out to about 64 calories less than listed per serving! The nutrition facts are for 2 oz of mozzarella per serving (144 calories), while the recipe would come out to 1/4 cup of mozzarella per serving (80 calories)! I chose more cheese. :) - 2/3/10

    I used my homemade (spicy) tomato sauce and fresh spinach (previously steamed and cooled) to reduce sodium level.

    And... I removed the foil 20 minutes before the end of cooking to brown the cheese "gratin" style. Yum! - 8/27/08

    I used oven ready lasagna noodles, didn't add the water, low fat ricotta instead of cottage cheese and Ragu Super Vegetable Primavera sauce. I added sauce and spinach together and layered and cooked similar to the recipe on the oven ready box (total 45 - 50 minutes). Full of flavor. Loved it. - 7/5/09

    My whole family loved this recipe. I put the cottage cheese, egg, herbs and the spinach in a food processor.
    Tasted great and will be on our meal plan rotation. - 12/30/08

    Quick, excellent meal! I added extra oregano, 2 tsp of basil, chopped mushrooms, and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Also subbed a cup of part-skim ricotta in place of the mozzarella in the spinach mixture, which made it even more flavorful. Even better the next day once the flavors have melded. - 1/10/08

    onions, mushrooms and zucchine are good in this also. I just cook them until alittle tender, I mix the spinach and chopped tomato in the cottage cheese. (note it helps to use a salad spinner on the spinach after you thaw it out if you are using frozen ) - 1/18/09

    This was great - my husband didn't even notice that there was no ricotta cheese in it! I agree with the other posters about adding spices, though - I added garlic and basil. - 7/14/08

    This dish turned out really good. I used ricotta cheese instead of the cottage cheese. I also used whole wheat noodles. Only downfall, my dish was a little watery. I guess I did not completely drain the spinach. - 9/25/08

    I made it but with low fat ricotta and no boil noodles. I added 3/4 c of Morningstar Farms Italian recipe crumbles and only put the low fat mozzarella on top. Delicious and a regular part of our meals now. - 2/22/08

    Fantastic! This is the first SparkRecipe that I tried! I used low fat ricotta instead of cottage cheese so my very italian hubby would not have a coronary and he LOVED this meatless meal. I love that the recipe cooks the noodles while the lasagna cooks! - 12/21/07

    Fantastic!!!! I made this while my boyfriend was out of town so I would have food to eat all week and I'm so excited to have it for lunch every day! I added garlic as one of the commenters suggested and I think it probably added a lot of flavor! Great recipe! - 11/29/07

    I like this recipe and have made it several times. Perfect as is, and fun to modify.
    I use the no cook lasagna noodles. I pour the 1 c of water into the empty jar of sauce and shake it up to get the remaining sauce from the jar. I used broccoli with some mushrooms this time. I'm impressed! - 3/26/07

    Very very good! My hubby, my best friend, and my best friend's hubby ate it all up! I made it for the "adults" at my daughter's 4th birthday party while the kids ate sloppy joes. I didn't realize you weren't supposed to cook the noodles first, but if you do, just don't add the water. Very yummy! - 3/14/07

    This was a DELICIOUS lasagne! I accidentally cooked the noodles BEFORE assembly--the water in the dish is supposed to cook the noodles in the oven...so DON'T cook your noodles first...let the oven do it. - 3/13/07
