Hey Veg Heads!
I’m here to share a recipe for a fabulous whole wheat vegetarian lasagna. Full of flavor thanks to fresh veggies and chewy sun-dried tomatoes, this is the best lasagna I’ve ever had – meat and all included! Cottage cheese leaves the layers moist and vegetables stay crisp tender. Don’t leave out the sun-dried tomatoes – they are the key!! Serve with a green salad 🙂
The Best Vegetable Lasagna
Ingredients
- 3 cups pasta sauce (like Classico Spicy Tomato and Pesto)
- 16 ounces 2% cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 9 whole wheat lasagna noodles
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese
- Approximately 4 cups mixed vegetables (I used spinach, carrots, sundried tomatoes, and zucchini)
Preheat oven to 400*. Spray 11 X 8 glass casserole dish.
- Combine cottage and parmesan cheeses.
- Place 3 uncooked noodles in pan.
- Cover with 1 cup pasta sauce, 1/3 cheese mixture, 1/3 vegetables, and 1/3 mozzarella.
- Repeat 2 more times.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake one hour.
Makes about 8 servings, ~350 kcal per serving.

Is anyone else going meatless on Fridays? Maybe on another day of the week? How bout meatless for Lent like me? 🙂
that looks great!
I remember that lasagna, it still loos good.
I want this. NOW. Do you think it would work with ricotta if we have that in the fridge and don’t feel like shopping for cottage cheese?
absolutely! i think Kath just used cottage cheese b/c she doesn’t like ricotta or something? i think ricotta would be fabulous! 🙂
