Introduction

I make this with whole wheat organic lasagna. It fills a large pan and my 2 kids will not eat vegis so one half of the lasagna is all the veg's pureed into a runny mush mixed with the sauce. You will probably not have this problem. It looks much nicer if you do not puree the vegetables. I make this with whole wheat organic lasagna.

Ingredients

    2 boxes of Organic Whole Wheat Lasagna (Westbrae)

    1 lb ground sirloin
    1 jar spaghetti sauce any style (I use Newman's)`
    1/2 onion you used yesterday chopped
    1 large red pepper chopped

    1 zucchini sliced thin
    1 summer squash sliced thin

    1 large container low fat cottage cheese
    1 cup fresh spinach leaves

    1 cup low fat mozzerella cheese

    Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Boil the lasagna noodles according to the box- but shorten the cooking time to al dente.

    In the mean time brown the ground sirloin and add the peppers and onions until the sirloin is browned. Add the jar of sauce. Season with Italian seasoning or "Herby" or whatever you like.

    Slice the zucchini and yellow summer squash into thin ratatouille style slices

    fine chop the spinach and then stir the spinach into the cottage cheese.

    In the large glass baking dish add a thin layer of the sauce, then a layer of the noodles, then a layer of the spinach cottage cheese mix, then a layer of zucchini and squash.

    Add the sauce then more noodles, then spinach cottage cheese mix, and zuch squash layers... Repeat until you run out of noodles - usually 3-4 noodle stacks high. Top the top with the rest of the sauce and then sprinkle the cheese all over the top.

    Bake for about a 1/2 hour until the cheese bubbles and serve hot.

    Makes 8 servings. We cut this in half and hide the second half (from my husband) to have for lunch the next day. I like making 2 day meals.




Directions

makes 8 servings. I save 1/2 for lunch the next day lunch for my family of 4.
