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

    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

    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

    This did not get rave reviews at my house. I think you need a really high quality flavourful marinara sauce. Somehow it seemed flat. I also used broccoli instead of spinach which I wouldn't do again. - 3/14/07

    I thought this was awesome! My girlfriend not so much. I think if I had added a meat or a soy crumble she would have enjoyed it much more. I used non-fat cottage cheese, added: 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 c chopped onion, and 6 oz fresh mushrooms, 1 T fresh basil, and used more oregano and pepper. - 7/22/12

    Wonderful! I followed the recipe exactly except left about 1/4 cup of spaghetti sauce remaining in the jar. The lasagna was beautiful and noodles were perfect. The reciped does not indicate whether to use cooked or uncooked noodles but since you add water, I assumed uncooked. I will make again! - 2/13/12

    I was a little leary of cooking with cottage cheese, as I hadn't done it before, but I was happily surprised. I mixed up the cheeses and spinach with some garlic and herb seasoning and used the mixture to make stuffed shells with marinara, instead of layering it with lasanga. It was super yummy! - 1/24/12

    I love this recipe, but I modified it a little. I use one cup low-fat ricotta and one part fat-free ricotta instead of cottage cheese, and I usually add artichoke hearts and mushrooms as well. Turns out great, we freeze it and it feeds my sister and I for a long time! Make this as a regular! - 5/12/11
