Fans of traditional lasagna are sure to be intrigued by this tasty twist—a rice-based version. Writes Gwen Cantwell from Sharon, Wisconsin. I discovered this recipe in a weight-loss class...and my family loves it. It has all the flavor of classic lasagna made with noodles with only a fraction of the fat. Ingredients:
1 jar (14 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce |
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained |
1 cup (8 ounces) 1% cottage cheese |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1 egg white |
3 cups cooked long grain rice |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine spaghetti sauce and mushrooms; set aside. In another bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese and egg white.
2. In a microwave-safe 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray, layer a third of the sauce, half of the rice and half of the cottage cheese mixture; repeat layers. Top with the remaining sauce.
3. Microwave at 50% power for 7-12 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 6 servings.
