Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds chopped plum tomatoes (about 4 cups)
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1/4 cup (packed) grated low-fat mozzarella cheese
8 lasagna noodles, freshly cooked, cut crosswise in half
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 3 minutes. Add tomatoes with any juices; simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup basil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir ricotta cheese in small saucepan over medium-low heat until just heated through. Add mozzarella cheese; stir just until melted, about 1 minute. Season to taste with pepper.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup tomato sauce into bottom of each of 4 shallow bowls. Place 2 hot lasagna noodle halves side by side atop sauce in each bowl. Top with 1/4 of cheese mixture, then with 2 more noodle halves. Divide remaining sauce among bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining 2 tablespoons basil; serve.

This lasagna was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter version.

I've tried many lasagna recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect combination of cheesy, meaty, and saucy.

I was skeptical about the lighter version of lasagna, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was just as good as the traditional version, and it was much healthier.

I love that this recipe uses whole wheat noodles and low-fat cheese. It's a healthier way to enjoy lasagna without sacrificing any of the flavor.

This lasagna was a hit with my family! The lighter version was still delicious and satisfying, and I felt good about serving it to my family. Will definitely be making this again.
