Ingredients:

Serving

cooking spray (5 1-second sprays per serving)
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
2 medium zucchini, sliced
12 oz raw lean ground beef
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 cup canned tomato sauce
2 cups fat-free cottage cheese
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
1/8 tsp table salt , to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper , to taste
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500ºF.
Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and spread tomatoes and zucchini over sheet. Roast vegetables for 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanhwile, in a large, nonstick skillet, sauté beef, onion and garlic until beef is browned.
Stir in tomato sauce and bring to a simmer.
Spread beef mixture in a 9x9 baking dish and top with roasted vegetables.
Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF.
Whisk together cottage cheese, egg yolk, cheddar cheese, herbs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Spoon over roasted vegetables and smooth with a rubber spatula.
Bake until very hot and bubbling around edges, about 35 minutes.
Cut into six equal pieces and serve.
(Note: If preparing casserole in advance and freezing it, make sure to thaw it completely in the refrigerator before baking it. Increase the baking time by 5 to 10 minutes.).
Flavor Booster: To give this dish an Italian accent, substitute fat-free ricotta cheese for cottage cheese and use 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese in place of the cheddar. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil just before serving.
