Does any one have an easy, low calorie vegetarian lasagna recipe?

Sunday, January 30th, 2011

Well, I try keep my daily calorie amount to no more than 1500 calories. But even though I watch my calories, I also love to eat, and greatly enjoy food. Plus, I am a vegetarian (for those who don’t know what that is, it means I don’t eat meat/flesh of any kind of animal – not to be confused with a vegan, because I still eat dairy and eggs and honey, I just don’t eat meat). I’m also trying to learn to cook more foods. For one thing, it’ll allow me to save money (why go out and buy it when you can make it yourself, right?).

So, does anyone have an easy, low-calorie vegetarian lasagna recipe?

Here’s an interesting and delicious veggie lasagna that happens to be low-carb, too! You don’t use lasagna noodles, but sliced zucchini instead. It’s really delicious! Also note that you can always substitute fat free ricotta and fat free/low fat cheeses to cut down on calories/fat.

M’s Noodle Free Veggie Lasagna:

• Cooking Spray
• 1/2 lb (7.5 cups) fresh spinach (you could easily use frozen whole leaf spinach)
• 2 lb Zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/8 inch thick slices
• 15 oz part-skim ricotta
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 c grated Parmesan
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 can (14.5 oz) whole peeled tomatoes
• 1/2 small yellow or red onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 c grated part skim mozzarella

Heat oven to 425.

Coat an 8" x 8" baking pan with cooking spray.

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray, heat over high heat. Add spinach. Stir until leaves wilt (this was easiest to do using tongs), about 5 minutes. Place in a colander to drain.

Coat skillet with cooking spray again; heat over high heat. Cook zucchini in batches, 2-3 min per side. Drain on paper towels.

Squeeze excess moisture from spinach. Mix spinach, ricotta, egg white, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, basil, 1/2 tsp of the salt and nutmeg in a bowl; set aside.

Puree tomatoes, onion, garlic, pepper and remaining 1/2 tsp salt in food processor.
Spread 1/2 the sauce on bottom of pan. Layer zucchini on top like you would with noodles, then 1/2 the ricotta mixture (i just dug in with my hands bc it’s hard to spread around with a spoon). Add a layer of zucchini and remaining half of ricotta and sauce (ending with sauce). add mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until cheese browns…about 30 min. Let it sit for 10 min or so before cutting so it sets up.
