The smoky flavor of the grilled vegetables gives this lasagna a nice unique taste. |
Ingredients- 18-20 no boil Lasagna noodles
- 1 28 oz can Crushed Tomatoes
- 1 cup tomato juice
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 container (2 cups) Cottage Cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 tsp dry Oregano
- 1 tsp dry Basil
- Olive Oil
- 1 bag pre-washed Spinach chopped
- 1 medium Green Pepper
- 1 medium Red Pepper
- 1 lb large Mushrooms
- 2 medium Zucchini
Method- Slice and brush peppers, mushrooms and zucchini with olive oil and a little salt and grill until they have nice dark grill marks
- Chop and set aside
- Saute onion and garlic in olive oil in a large pan
- Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato juice, sugar, herbs, salt and pepper to the onion mixture and cook on medium heat about 10 minutes
- add spinach and chopped grilled vegetables and cook until spinach is wilted
- Spread just enough sauce to cover the bottom of your baking dish
- Place a layer of noodles and top with sauce and then with mozzarella and cottage cheese
- Continue layering until all ingredients have been used ( this will depend on the size of the pan that you use)
- * Make sure that your top layer is mozzarella and cottage cheese
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese
- Cover lasagna and bake in a preheated 350* oven for 40-50 minutes
- Uncover and bake 10-15 minutes more
- Let stand for up to 30 minutes before cutting and serving
Tips- Remember when using no-cook lasagna noodles that you need more liquid than when using traditional noodles. If you feel that your sauce is not thin enough, just add a little water or extra tomato juice.
- Ricotta Cheese can be used instead of Cottage Cheese
- For a spicier version try grilling a couple of Jalapeno peppers and adding them
