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.
