Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 package (16 ounces) lasagna noodles, cooked, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free cottage cheese
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced and cooked
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) reduced-fat sour cream

Directions

  • In a large skillet, cook beef and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomato sauce, water, tomato paste, bay leaves, parsley and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes.

Cover with five noodles, half of the meat sauce and the zucchini. Cover with five noodles and sour cream. Top with remaining noodles and meat sauce.
