CAULIFLOWER ALFREDO SAUCE
Steps:
- Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut into individual florets. The smaller you cut the pieces, the faster they will cook.
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the cauliflower is very tender. Drain the water from the cauliflower.
- In a saute pan, add the olive oil and onions. Saute over medium heat for about 7 minutes until tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the evaporated milk and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the cauliflower, onion mixture, Parmesan cheese, chicken broth, salt, and pepper to a blender. Blend until creamy and smooth

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Coarsely grate the cauliflower and broccoli, including the stems. This can be done with a typical box grater, but I like to use a mandolin.
- Heat a frying pan on medium. Add the olive oil, grated vegetables, and garlic. Saute the vegetables until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow the vegetable mixture to cool for 15 minutes while you prepare, lasagna noodles and tomato sauce. Feel free to use your favorite store-bought tomato sauce. However, it's pretty quick and easy to make your own. See the instructions below.
- When the cauliflower and broccoli have cooled, mix in the ricotta cheese. Add salt, to taste. Then stir in the egg.
- To put together the lasagna, place a small amount of sauce on the bottom of the pan followed by a layer of noodles. Add another thin layer of sauce, topped by 1/2 the broccoli filling, then noodles. Repeat the layers a second time (tomato sauce, broccoli, and noodles), topping the final layer of noodles with a bit more sauce and all of the mozzarella.
- Cover the lasagna with tin foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the tinfoil, then bake, uncovered for another 25 minutes until the cheese is browning and the sauce is bubbling.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Yield Serves 8; 3/4 to 1 cup per serving
Number Of Ingredients 20
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sauce ingredients except the Parmesan. Cook over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly (it will still be somewhat thin), stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the Parmesan. Remove from the heat. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, egg substitute, oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder. Set aside.
- If using fresh cauliflower and broccoli, in a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium high and cook the cauliflower for 2 minutes. Stir in the broccoli. Cook for 1 minute. Transfer to a colander. Drain well.
- Layer as follows in the casserole dish: half the sauce, 4 noodle halves, all the ricotta mixture, and the cauliflower and broccoli. Sprinkle with the roasted pepper and 1/2 cup mozzarella. Top with the remaining noodle halves, remaining sauce, and remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Cover the dish and place on a baking sheet in case the lasagna bubbles over.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients. When the lasagna has baked for 30 minutes, sprinkle with the topping. Bake, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the topping is toasted and the noodles are tender. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to make cutting easier.

VEGETABLE LASAGNA WITH ALFREDO SAUCE
Steps:
- Lay out enough dry lasagna noodles in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan to ensure you have enough to make 3 full layers, with very little overlap on each layer. Remove the dry strips and cook according to package instructions until just tender; drain.
- Alfredo Sauce - Heat water to a boil in the bottom of a double boiler . Add butter, cream, and pepper to the top pan and place over the simmering water until butter is completely melted; stir in Parmesan until melted and blended in. Turn off heat and remove top pan; set aside to cool. Measure 1 1/4 cups of the sauce; set aside. Put the remaining sauce in a container and keep refrigerated until close to serving time.
- Ricotta Filling - In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella, 2 tablespoons green onions, 2 teaspoons of chopped parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon each basil and oregano, and 1 1/4 cups of cooled prepared Alfredo sauce. Blend well. Set aside.
- Heat the oven to 375 F.
- Vegetables - In a heavy skillet, sauté mushrooms, carrots, and 1 cup of chopped onions in 1 tablespoon butter until just tender-about 8 to 10 minutes. Add red and green bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli; toss to mix well.
- Assembly - Grease bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish. Lay out 4 cooked lasagna strips to cover the entire bottom of the baking pan. Spread 1 1/4 cups of the ricotta mixture evenly over the strips. Top with half of the vegetable mixture and spread out evenly. Cover the vegetable layer with 9 slices of mozzarella cheese. Repeat this layering. Top the second layer of mozzarella slices with lasagna strips and spread them evenly with 1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese mixture to finish.
- Grease or spray a sheet of foil with vegetable spray and cover the baking dish tightly with the foil sprayed side down.
- Bake the lasagna for about an hour, or until the internal temp registers 165 F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes, covered, before cutting and serving.
- Heat reserved Alfredo sauce and spoon a little over each serving.
