Spinach Lasagna
makes 8 servings
Ingredients:
9 Lasagna Noodles
Ground Chicken (1 lb)
Tomato Sauce, two 15oz cans
1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash Italian Seasoning (or your fave Italian seasoning)
1 Tbsp dried minced onion
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Frozen Spinach, two 10oz boxes
Ricotta, 15oz part-skim
1/2 cup Egg Substitute
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt, to taste
Directions:
[1] In a large pot of salted water on high heat, boil your 9 lasagna noodles to the minimum time recommended on the box (mine was 10 minutes). Strain & place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
[2] In a pot over medium-high heat, brown ground chicken until cooked through. Add tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, onion, basil, oregano, garlic powder & salt (I used 1 tsp). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and let hang out.
[3] Microwave frozen spinach until cooked (my microwave took about 15 minutes), breaking apart the ice chunks every so often. Drain spinach well, and combine in a large bowl with your ricotta, egg substitute & salt (I used 1 tsp again).
[4] In a 13x9 casserole dish, place a little bit of sauce on the bottom to prevent noodle stickage, then layer: 3 noodles, 1/3 spinach mixture, 1/3 meat sauce, 1 Tbsp parmesan, 3 noodles, 1/3 spinach mixture, 1/3 meat sauce, 1 Tbsp parmesan, 3 noodles, rest of spinach mixture, rest of meat sauce, then top with cheddar cheese.
[5] Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes until bubbly, then broil at 500 degrees F until golden brown.
