Vegetable Lasagna

Ray and I came home to my mom's house this weekend and today we have been go go go. No workout today but for dinner I made a yummy veggie lasagna. Actually, I added shredded chicken to mine, but thats really up to you if you want that or not. Raymond is making an apple pie right now, so I guess I will be posting some more amazingness later on :)

Vegetable Lasagna

Ingredients

• 1 cup zucchini, sliced
• 1 cup yellow squash, sliced
• 1 cup mix of yellow and red peppers, sliced
• ½ onion, chopped
• 2 gloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup ricotta cheese, I used low-fat
• 1 egg
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 2 cups tomato or pasta sauce
• 12 cooked whole wheat lasagna noodles
• 1 cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup shredded cooked chicken, optional

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375
• In a heated skillet, saute the garlic, onion and veggies in the olive oil. (I just sauteed them while I was preparing everything else, you mainly just want to start the cooking process before baking)
•  In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta, egg, and spinach
• Spread 1/2 of the ricotta mixture on the lasagna noodles. Layer on 1/2 of the veggies. Sprinkle half of the chicken if you want it. Spread 1/3 of the sauce over top. Add another layer of noodles and repeat. Add the last layer and top with the remaining 1/3 of the sauce and top with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown
