Tips

You can reduce the sodium count by not using the Knorr chicken bullion....just use a little regular salt.


Directions

Put cabbage in freezer for 24 hours so it softens the leaves so you don't have to parboil it. Take out cabbage so it can partially thaw and get more soft while you prepare the other ingredients for the lasagna. Or parboil, boil a large pot of water, cut off the bottom of the cabbage so you can have individual leaves or it is easy to pull individual leaves off the cabbage itself. Plunge in boiling water (watch your hands) and then let the leaves sit for a minute and pull out or continue to roll the cabbage and pull off the topmost leaves as they have sat in the boiling water for a minute. Continually roll the cabbage until you have enough cabbage leaves.)

Heat oven to 350.
Chop cauliflower, broccoli and carrot to very small pieces (small pieces allow the vegetables to soften while cooking the lasagna), salt, pepper, chicken bullion and olive oil. Stir ingredients until well blended.

In a small bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, egg, basil and oregano.

In a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish, cover the bottom with your spagetti sauce.
Peel off cabbage leaves and cover the bottom of the pan. It doesn't matter if the cabbage tears. Just overlap the leaves slightly and make a puzzle.
Spread about half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the cabbage.
Spread half the vegetable blend over the ricotta.
On this layer, don't top off the medley with the spagetti sauce, but do top off the medley with 1/3 mozzarella and 1/3 parmesan.
Make another layer of cabbage. Repeat with the ricotta, medley, this layer do add the spaghetti sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan.
Top with a layer of cabbage. Put on remaining spagetti sauce and cheese.
For the first 60 minutes. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes total Bake until cabbage is soft. (And watch yours because if the lasagna is thicker then this could effect the cooking time.)
