Spinach Zucchini Lasagna (Vegetarian) image

This yummy, veggie filled lasagna is taken from Lisa Kochen und Backen, a German monthly cooking and baking mag. It is easy to make, rather quick considering it's a lasagna after all and tastes sooo good. It is also on the lighter side, which in my book is always a plus. I hope youll enjoy this as much as me and my friends did. :)

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 tablespoon oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
750 g zucchini, chopped
750 g frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and liquid squeezed out
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs
salt and black pepper
500 g low-fat ricotta cheese
200 g yogurt (low-fat is fine)
5 tablespoons cheese, grated (use your favourite)
1 (400 g) jar pasta sauce, arrabiata flavour (meaning hot)
1 (400 g) jar pasta sauce, with basil (or other herbs)
300 g lasagna noodles (the no boil kind)
5 tablespoons cheese, shredded (use your favourite)

Steps:

  • In a big pan heat the oil. Saute garlic until nicely browned.
  • Add zucchini and spinach and saute until nearly done (about 10 minutes).
  • Season and allow to cool a tad.
  • Make the white sauce by combining ricotta, yogurt and cheese. Add this to the vegetable mixture and stir to combine. The yogurt might curdle, but that is fine.
  • Now make the red sauce by mixing both pasta sauces together.
  • For assembly start by spreading enough of the red sauce in your baking dish (I used a rectangular 22X35 cm/ 9X13 inch dish). Follow with the veggie white sauce mixture and then add a layer of lasagna noodles. Repeat until everything is used up making sure to end with a layer of sauce.
  • Sprinkle top with the remaining 5 tbs of cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 200°C/400°F for 20-30 minutes or until cooked through and bubbling.
  • Allow to stand in the pan for 5 minutes, then enjoy. :).
