Arrange the noodles crosswise in the pan to allow space for them to expand in the casserole's liquid. Serve with salad. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
1 cup chopped red bell pepper (about 1 medium) |
1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper (about 1 medium) |
1 cup chopped onion |
4 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (about 5 cups) |
2 (8-ounce) packages presliced cremini mushrooms |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
1 1/2 cups fat-free ricotta cheese |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh parmesan cheese, divided |
1 large egg |
5 cups basic marinara, divided |
12 precooked lasagna noodles (about 8 ounces) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and mushrooms; sauté 10 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and mushroom liquid evaporates. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds.
3. Combine 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmesan, and egg, stirring well.
4. Spread 1 cup Basic Marinara over bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; top with 3 noodles. Spoon 1 cup Basic Marinara evenly over noodles. Top evenly with one-third of ricotta mixture and one-third of vegetable mixture. Repeat layers twice, ending with noodles. Top with remaining 1 cup Basic Marinara. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Cover and bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes or until cheese melts. Let stand 10 minutes.
