Cooking Instructions

Great thing about this is that you can add or substitute a lot of the ingredients to make it just a little different each time. I know it's not one of those super pretty lasagnas where the cook carefully layers each ingredient, but it's still wonderful!

  • Cook ground beef until brown.
  • Boil noodles as directed by package.
  • Spray a 9”x13” pan with cooking spray and spread a few tablespoons of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the pan.
  • Mix the rest of the ingredients, except for the fat free mozzarella cheese.
  • Lay down ½ of the noodles and top with half of the cottage cheese mixture.
  • Layer with the rest of the noodles and top with the other half of the mixture.
  • Lastly, put the fat free cheese on top.

Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.

Really great tasting lasagna. Would definitely recommend. I used ground turkey instead of beef.

CLEAN VERSION: Swap out the noodles and instead used zucchini sliced 1/4" thick (cut down the length) to make 1-ingredient "noodles" for layering this dish. Reduce the mozz cheese by 1/2 and add that amount back of lower calorie, more flavorful grated parm-romano.

Swap out the noodles and used zucchini sliced lengthwise (in 1/4" thick slices) to make this a more clean version!

Made this tonight and was delicious! Girlfriend liked it too. I found that half the called use of mushrooms was enough for me as I'm not crazy about them. Very good dish.
