Equipment

  • 1 10"x15" pan Alternatively can split recipe into two pans a 9x13 and a 9x9.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 onion
  • 1-2 bell peppers
  • 1-2 zucchini or yellow squash
  • 1 15oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 15oz cans tomato sauce
  • 1 16oz box oven ready lasagna
  • 16 oz cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2-4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • Begin by dicing the onion and pepper and adding to a large pan. Saute over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile dice the zucchini then add to the pan along with half the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Continue cooking for 5-10 minutes until the vegetables are nearly cooked through. Add the canned diced tomatoes for the last couple minutes of cooking.
  • Once the vegetables are done cooking add the tomato sauce and remove from heat.
  • While the vegetables cook put together the cheese mixture by adding the cottage cheese, half the mozzarella, and the egg to a bowl. Mix until the egg is completely combined. Then season with the remaining garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Begin layering the lasagna starting with the sauce on bottom, then topping with pasta, a layer of the cheese mixture, and then spinach. Continue layering in that pattern until you run out of ingredients. In a 10x15 pan I usually do 3 sets of layers ending in the sauce and vegetables.
  • Top the lasagna with sliced tomatoes and the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake lasagna for 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
