Number of Servings: 9
Ingredients:
1 each lb low-fat cottage cheese
0.5 each lb low-fat or part-skim ricotta cheese
2 each egg whites
2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh minced chives
1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley
0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
8 OZ whole wheat lasagna noodles, uncooked
1 cup onion (1 large), minced
0.25 cup Dry red wine
0.5 each lbs sliced mushrooms
1 cup chopped zucchini
4 cups low sodium red sauce of your choice
Directions:
Puree cottage cheese, ricotta, egg whites and Parmesan. Blend in chives, parsley and pepper by hand. In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook lasagna noodles until just tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes. Remove noodles with a slotted spoon, dip into cold water and lay out flat on clean kitchen towels (not paper towel, or they will stick). In covered skillet, simmer onions in wine for about 5 minutes until very soft. Stir frequently, but keep pot covered in between stirrings. Add mushrooms and zucchini and cook until soft and half their original volume, about 5 minutes. Drain the vegetables. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Combine the cheese mixture and all but 1/4 cup of the mushroom mixture. Spread 2 cups red sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-14 inch baking pan. Alternate layers of noodles and cheese mixture ending with a final layer of noodles. Cover with remaining sauce. Distribute reserved mushrooms over top. Bake, covered, for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for 5 minutes longer. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before cutting.
