Recipe Introduction


Just looking at this recipe, it appears to be a lot of work. However, it really isn't. The eggplant in it is soooo good. Spray underside of foil to make sure all gooey cheese doesn't stick.


List of Ingredients




12 uncooked lasagna noodles
Eggplant:
2 large egg whites + large egg
1 (1 lb.) eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/4" slices
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
enough Cooking spray
Filling:
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
5 tbsp. (1-1/4 oz.) grated fresh parmesan cheese, divided
1 tsp. each dried oregano, dried basil
1 tub (15 oz.) part-skim ricotta cheese
1 tub (12 oz.) 1% low-fat cottage cheese
1 large egg white
To Assemble
1 bottle (26 oz.) fat-free tomato-basil pasta sauce






Recipe



Cook pasta according to pkg. directions, omit salt and fat. Drain. Prepare Eggplant: Heat oven to 450º F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Coat a 13x9" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Combine 2 egg whites and 1 egg in a small bowl, stirring with a wire whisk. Place flour and bread crumbs on separate plates. Dredge each eggplant slice in flour. Dip each in egg mixture, and dredge in breadcrumbs. Place slices in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Coat tops of slices with cooking spray. Bake at 450º F. for 20 minutes, turning eggplant after 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool. Reduce oven temperature to 375º F. Filling: Combine 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 3 tbsp. parmesan, oregano, basil, ricotta, cottage cheese and 1 egg white in a large bowl. Assemble: Spread 1/4 cup pasta sauce in bottom of prepared baking dish. Arrange 4 lasagna noodles, slightly overlapping, over pasta sauce; top with 1/2 cheese mixture, 1/2 of eggplant slices and 3/4 cup pasta sauce. Repeat layers, ending with last lasagna noodles. Spread remaining pasta sauce over noodles. Sprinkle with remaining cup mozzarella cheese and 2 tbsp. parmesan cheese. Cover and bake at 375º F for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 35 minutes or until cheese melts. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
