Veggie Lasagna

Posted by MelissaE Jan 2, 2008

This is an easy recipe. One of my favorites....

Ingredients

1 pd. Fresh pasta sheets (can use whole wheat, quinoa, kamut, or other healthy grains)
1 lb. mozzarella cheese (use the fresh stuff -- makes a huge difference)
2 lbs. low-fat ricotta cheese
Freshly grated parm cheese
1 jar tomato sauce
Vegetables -- use your favorites. I use red onions, yellow peppers, broccoli, spinach, fresh tomato, mushrooms and yellow squash.

Sautee vegetables. Using a 9x13 pan, put a thin layer of tomato sauce at the bottom. Place pasta sheets on top, then add mozzarella and ricotta cheeses and a thin layer of sauteed veggies. Add tomato sauce and another layer of pasta. Place a second layer of veggies and cheese, more sauce, then pasta sheets. End with a layer of tomato sauce. Top generously with parmigiana cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes or until hot.
