Introduction
A delicious, no-meat lasagna that is still high in protein. My friends and family have enjoyed this at parties. It is also good to make at the beginning of the week and reheat the leftovers throughout the week. I hope you enjoy it! A delicious, no-meat lasagna that is still high in protein.

Ingredients
-
6 soy-enriched lasagna noodles
15oz container fat-free ricotta cheese
1 bag Shredded, part-skim low moisture mozzerella cheese
1 oz Parmesan cheese, grated (i'm devoted to the real stuff, but you can always use a low-fat version)
1 box frozen spinach
1/4 c. chopped bell pepper
1/4 c chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 c. your favorite tomato sauce (i use Classico fire-roasted tomato and garlic. I enjoy chunkier sauces in this).
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
dash of salt
1 tsp olive oil
Directions
I do the first three steps simultaneously:
1. Boil a pot of water and cook lasagna noodles as directed on the package. I add a little oil to the water to keep the noodles from sticking.
2. In a saucepan, heat the onions and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat until the onions are translucent. Add the bell pepper and cook for another minute, then add the sauce and reduce heat to a simmer. (You could also add whatever other veggies you want to this mixture!)
3. Defrost the spinach and wring dry in a dish towel. Mix thoroughly with the ricotta and half of the parmesan.
And now the assembly...
4. Spray a glass or ceramic loaf pan (or other oven-friendly dish) with non-stick cooking spray. Place two noodles in the bottom of the pan.
5. Spread half of the spinach-ricotta mixture on top of the noodles. Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded mozz. on top of this.
6. Add 1/3 of the sauce mixture.
7. Add two more noodles, then repeat steps 5-6.
8. Add two more noodles. Spread the remaining 1/3 of the sauce on top, the remaining 1/3 of mozz, and the remaining 1/2 ounce of grated parmesan.
9. Bake for 20 minutes until the lasagna is warmed through and the top is beginning to brown.
Feel free to add additional veggies to the sauce mixture! Also, using a home-made tomato sauce or modifying the cheese may help to reduce the sodium content. Serve with a fresh green salad, dressed with balsamic vinegar!
Makes 6 servings....but you might want seconds!
