List of Ingredients
1/4 cup Dry Sherry or defatted broth
1 cup Sliced onions
3 cups Mixed sliced bell peppers
2 cups Sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons Chopped fresh basil
1 cup Nonfat ricotta cheese
1 cup Nonfat cottage cheese
4 cups Reduced-calorie pasta sauce
1 pound Lasagna noodles
2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Toasted bread crumbs Recipe
Mixed colors of bell peppers make this a stunning main dish. Heat Sherry in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft but not browned, 5 minutes. Add peppers and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms lose their liquid, 5 minutes. Stir in basil. Remove from heat.
Puree ricotta and cottage cheeses in blender or food processor. To assemble, spoon 1 cup of pasta sauce in bottom of 9-by 13-inch baking pan coated with nonstick vegetable spray. Top with layer of uncooked noodles, 1/3 of vegetables, then 1/3 of cheese mixture. Repeat until all ingredients are used up, ending with pasta sauce. In small bowl, stir together Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and sprinkle over lasagna. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake until lightly browned and bubbling, about 15 to 20 minutes longer.
