Recipe
To prepare lasagna, cook noodles according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain.
Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, mushrooms, spinach and 3 garlic cloves, sauté 5 minutes or until onion and mushrooms are tender. Remove from heat and stir in cheeses, 2 T. basil, ½ t. salt and ¼ t. crushed red pepper.
To prepare sauce, place vinegar and remaining ingredients in a blender, process until smooth. Place cooked noodles on a flat surface, spread ¼ c. cheese mixture over each noodle. Roll up noodles, jelly roll fashion. Place the rolls seam sides down in a shallow 2-quart microwave-safe dish. Pour ¼ c. sauce over each roll and cover with heavy duty plastic wrap. Microwave on high 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with 2 T. basil.
Serves 4.
