Ingredients
- 1 box lasagna noodles
- 1 jar tomato sauce
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 8 oz package baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 8 oz package frozen spinach, defrosted
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 8 oz container cottage cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups mozerella cheese
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tbs Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium size skillet, heat olive oil over medium low heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent or about 5 minutes and remove from heat.
In medium size bowl, mix onions, garlic, egg, cottage cheese, spinach, mushrooms, salt and pepper.
Spray large rectangular casserole pan with non-stick spray. Layer bottom of pan with uncooked lasagna noodles. Pour 1/2 the jar of sauce over the noodles. Next layer with the onions mixture. Top with 1/2 the cheddar and 1/2 the mozzarella. Add another layer of noodles and repeat above layers, making sure to end with a layer of cheese. Cover with tin foil and bake 45 minutes. Remove tin foil and bake another 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
Tips
- Use 4% cottage cheese for toddlers.
- After the jar of sauce is empty, add a small amount of water, cover and shake. Pour this over the lasagna as you assemble.
- For extra protein add cooked hamburger, mashed tofu or veggie burger crumbles.
- Serve with garlic bread (see recipe).
