Ingredients:

Serving

2 cup zucchini

Directions:

Cups water
Cup quinoa
Tablespoons canola oil or olive oil
Cup chopped onion
Cup sliced mushrooms
Cloves garlic, minced
Cups tomato sauce or prepared pasta sauce
Cups no-salt-added low-fat cottage cheese
Large egg, beaten
/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Tablespoons minced fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried
Tablespoon dried oregano
Cups sliced zucchini
Cups packed fresh spinach, tough stems removed
/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
PREPARATION
Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Evenly spread the quinoa in the prepared dish.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Wipe out the saucepan, then add oil and heat over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, until transparent and starting to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are softened and very little moisture is left in the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and sauce. Stir until hot. Remove from heat.
Combine cottage cheese and egg in a medium bowl; mix well. Stir in Parmesan, basil and oregano.
Spread one-third of the sauce over the quinoa. Make a layer of all the zucchini, then all the cottage cheese mixture, then half the remaining sauce, then all the spinach. Finish with the remaining sauce and spread mozzarella on top.
Bake the lasagna until it is hot and the cheese is melted, bubbling and slightly browned around the edges, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
