    Recipe Introduction


    Feeds a crowd, though can be easily halved

    List of Ingredients




    Farmers’ Market Vegetable Lasagna


    10oz lasagna noodles
    2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    2 large shallots, chopped (or 1 small sweet onion, chopped)
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    2 medium zucchini, chopped
    2 medium yellow summer squash, chopped
    salt & pepper
    24oz marinara sauce
    24oz fat-free cottage cheese, drained well
    3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
    1/2 cup packed fresh basil, chopped
    8oz shredded mozzarella cheese

    Recipe




    Add lasagna noodles to a large pot of salted, boiling water.

    Cook until al dente then drain and lay on a nonstick sprayed baking sheet.

    Spray tops of noodles to stack on top of one another if necessary.

    Heat extra virgin olive oil in a very large skillet over medium heat.

    Add shallots and saute until translucent, 3-4 minutes, then add garlic and saute for 30 more seconds.

    Add zucchini and summer squash, season with salt and pepper, then saute until just slightly starting to turn translucent, 4-5 minutes.

    Add marinara sauce, turn heat down to medium/medium-low, then simmer until zucchini and squash are tender, 5-7 minutes (a splatter screen is helpful.)

    Do not over-cook or vegetables will be mushy.

    Set aside to cool slightly.

    In a large bowl combine drained cottage cheese, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, and chopped basil then set aside.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees then spray a 9×13″ pan (could use 2-8×8″ pans) with non-stick spray.

    Spread a small amount of the vegetable mixture into the bottom then layer in 3 cooked lasagna noodles followed by 1/3 of the cottage cheese mixture, 1/3 of the remaining vegetable mixture, and 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese.

    Repeat layers 2 more times.

    Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese on top then cover pan with nonstick sprayed foil and bake for 20 minutes.

    Remove foil then bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

    Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
