Ingredients

  • 12 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon each dried basil, thyme and pepper
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) 1% cottage cheese
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

  • Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, saute the onion, celery and garlic in oil until softened. Add the mushrooms; cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar and seasonings; simmer for 10 minutes. In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, parsley and salt.
  • Drain noodles. Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with four noodles, half of the cottage cheese mixture, half of the spinach, a third of the remaining sauce and a third of the mozzarella. Repeat layers.
  • Top with remaining noodles, sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and bake at 350° for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer. Let lasagna stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Yield: 12 servings.

First of all only 3 lasagna noodles fit across the baking dish, and I needed at least 2 cups of mozza cheese to barely do the job, so I dont know how 1 cup can stretch into 3 layers that would be very skimpy, I mixed the parmesan cheese into the cottage cheese mixture just like a recipe I used back in high school, I also added red pepper to the mushroom mixture. I'll see how it turns out when its baked.
