Time 4h35m

Yield SERVES: 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 15-ounce containers part-skim ricotta cheese
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with about one-third of the remaining sauce, then sprinkle with about one-third of the mozzarella mixture. Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta, sauce, mozzarella mixture). Top with the remaining noodles, then the remaining sauce and mozzarella mixture.

Provided by California Walnuts

Categories     Vegetarian Lasagna

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 teaspoon A little olive oil for the pan
2 pounds fresh spinach, washed*
2 pounds nonfat ricotta cheese or nonfat cottage cheese
Walnut Pesto (recipe follows)
4 large cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup minced walnuts, lightly toasted
1 (24 ounce) jar low-sugar tomato sauce (or your favorite sauce)
16 noodles fresh, uncooked green (spinach) lasagna noodles or, if using dried, no-boil noodles
½ pound low-fat mozzarella cheese, grated
3 cups packed fresh basil leaves
3 large cloves garlic
⅓ cup lightly toasted walnuts
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pinch Salt and pepper to taste
Additional extra-virgin olive oil (for storage)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. If using fresh spinach, chop it fine. If using frozen, chopped spinach, make sure it is thoroughly defrosted and squeeze out all of the excess water.
  • Place the ricotta or cottage cheese in a large bowl. Stir in the spinach, pesto, garlic, salt, pepper, half the Parmesan, and the walnuts. Mix well. Spread half the tomato sauce in the bottom of the pan. Place a layer of uncooked noodles over the sauce. Spoon about 1/3 of the ricotta or cottage filling in dabs over the noodles (you can spread it a little, but not too much) and sprinkle with 1/3 of the grated mozzarella. Follow with another layer of sauce, then noodles, followed by another 1/3 of the filling, and another 1/3 of the mozzarella. Repeat one more time, and then finish up with a final layer of noodles. You will have some Parmesan left over.
  • If you are using fresh noodles, bake uncovered. If you are using dried noodles, cover the pan tightly with foil.
  • Bake for 50 minutes, uncovering the pan (if applicable) during the last 15 minutes, during which time you can sprinkle on the reserved Parmesan. (In the case of the uncovered pan, if the top of the lasagna becomes as brown as you like it before the full baking time is up, cover loosely with foil and continue baking, so it wont get too dark.) Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
  • Walnut Pesto: Place the basil leaves and garlic in a food processor or blender, and mix well.
  • Add the walnuts, and continue to blend until the walnuts are finely ground.
  • Keep the machine running as you drizzle in the olive oil. When you have a smooth paste, transfer to a bowl, and stir in the Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • If you are not going to use the pesto right away, place in a container that has a tight-fitting lid. Smooth out the top surface of the pesto, and pour on enough olive oil to cover it completely. This creates an air-proof seal that helps preserve it well. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 (15 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
1/2 cup onion, diced
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon oregano
salt and pepper
20 ounces frozen chopped spinach
6 sun-dried tomatoes, cut into strips
15 ounces ricotta cheese
15 ounces cottage cheese
1 (10 ounce) jar pesto sauce
1 egg
salt and pepper
1 (9 ounce) box no-boil lasagna noodles
1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1 (16 ounce) bag pre-shredded pizza cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Sautégarlic and onion in olive oil until onions are soft. Reduce heat and stir in the 2 cans of crushed tomatoes. Stir in spice and 1/2-1 can of tomato paste. Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer for 1 hour.
  • Thaw spinach and squeeze all of the water out. I use 1 and 3/4 packages of spinach--adjust to your taste. Mix ricotta and cottage cheese in a large bowl. Stir in spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, and salt and pepper to taste. When you have the taste to your liking, stir in the egg. This will help keep the lasagna together, but you will not taste it in the final product.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best flavor, so try to use them whenever possible. If you can't find fresh spinach or mushrooms, you can use frozen, but make sure to thaw them thoroughly before using.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna: The lasagna should be cooked until the noodles are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly, but be careful not to overcook it, or the noodles will become mushy.
  • Let the lasagna rest: Before slicing and serving the lasagna, let it rest for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
