This âveggie-liciousâ alternative to traditional lasagna makes use of slow-cooker convenience. âI suggest using chunky spaghetti sauce,â notes Laura Davister of Little Suamico, Wisconsin.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons 1% cottage cheese
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons egg substitute
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup meatless spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup sliced zucchini
2 no-cook lasagna noodles
4 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Spread 1 tablespoon spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker coated with cooking spray. Top with half of the zucchini and a third of the cheese mixture. 2. Break noodles into 1-in. pieces; sprinkle half of the noodles over cheese mixture. Spread with 1 tablespoon sauce. Top with half of the spinach and half of the mushrooms. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cheese mixture and spaghetti sauce. 3. Cover and cook on low for 3-1/2 to 4 hours or until noodles are tender. Yield: 2 servings.
