The homemade sauce and noodles are what make this lasagna so tasty, but you can substitute prepackaged spinach lasagna noodles and a good bottled low-fat marinara sauce, if you prefer. The noodle recipe makes more than you'll need in case some fall apart. You can make the sauce in advance and store it in airtight container; freeze up to two months or refrigerate up to three days. Ingredients:
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh parmesan cheese |
1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine, softened |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/8 tablespoon grated whole nutmeg |
1 (15-ounce) carton fat-free ricotta cheese |
6 cups bill's marinara sauce |
cooking spray |
9 cooked homemade spinach lasagna noodles |
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil, divided |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350º.
2. Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl. Spoon 1 cup marinara sauce into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange 3 noodles over sauce; top with 1 cup ricotta mixture, 2 cups marinara sauce, 2 tablespoons basil, and 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, ending with noodles. Spread 1 cup marinara sauce over noodles; top with 2/3 cup mozzarella. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour. Let stand 15 minutes.
