WEIGHT WATCHERS CLASSIC LASAGNA



Weight Watchers Classic Lasagna image

This recipe is from the Jan/Feb 15 Weight Watchers magazine. It's really good and filling for only 9 points plus. I like that it uses part skim ricotta and mozzarella and not low fat. The only whole wheat lasagna noodles I could find were the Target brand but I liked them! Also, be sure to use 93% lean ground beef.

Time 2h10m

Yield 1 casserole, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped carrot
1 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup dry red wine
56 ounces crushed Italian plum tomatoes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 (15 ounce) container part-skim ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
16 dry whole wheat lasagna noodles
2 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, cleery and garlic; cook, stirring frequently until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and add beef; cook until browned, breaking up meat with a spoon as it cooks, about 5 minutes.
  • Add wine; cook, stirring once, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes and paste, oregano, salt, black and red pepper; increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes; stir in basil.
  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Make the filling by putting into a medium bowl ricotta, egg, Parmesan cheese and parsley.
  • In a 13x9 inch baking dish spread 2 cups meat sauce on the bottom of the pan. Layer 4 noodles on top, overlapping to fit if needed.
  • Spoon about 2 1/4 cups meat sauce over noodles; top with 1/2 cup filling mixture and 1/2 cup mozzarella. Repeat, layering with remaining noodles, sauce, filling and mozzarella, reserving 1/2 cup mozzarella.
  • Cover lasagna with foil and bake 45 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and bake until cheese melts and lightly browns, about 5 minutes; remove from oven and let rest 15 minutes; slice into 12 pieces.
  • If desired, you can make this recipe a day ahead and stop short of baking. Let the dish cool to room temperature and cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. Allow 15 minutes more baking time to cook through.

HEARTY VEGETABLE LASAGNA (WEIGHT WATCHERS)



Hearty Vegetable Lasagna (Weight Watchers) image

I modified this recipe and didn't use any non-stick cooking spray or the no-boil noodles. I used some home canned tomato basil marina and threw in some spinach but left out the mushrooms. I also made a big pan of this instead of enough for 4 servings. Recipe posted as written. Courtesy of Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small eggplant, about a pound, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch rounds
1 large zucchini, cut on diagonal into 1/4 inch slices
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
29 ounces fire-roasted tomatoes
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
5 sheets no-boil lasagna noodles
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400. Spray 8 inch square baking dish and 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray. I skipped this step and put my sauce in the bottom and didn't need anything to coat the bottom.
  • Place eggplant and zucchini on prepared baking sheets, overlapping slices if necessary.
  • Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. I skipped the non-stick cooking spray and used olive oil. Bake until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with their juice, mushrooms, bell pepper, basil, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Reduce heat and cook until sauce is bubbling but not thickened, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of sauce in prepared baking dish. Cover with 1 lasagna noodle and top with 1/4 of eggplant and zucchini.
  • Cover with 1/2 cup of sauce and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of mozzarella and 1 tablespoon of Parmesan. Repeat to make 4 more layers, ending with noodle topped with sauce. If any sauce remains, spoon over lasagna.
  • Cover baking dish with foil and bake until bubbly, about 35 minutes. Uncover and bake until sauce is absorbed, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Let stand about 5 minutes before serving.

WEIGHT WATCHERS SLOW COOKER LASAGNA



Weight Watchers Slow Cooker Lasagna image

BEST lasagna I've ever made. Two modifications - I use ground chicken and Italian Chicken Sausage (no casing), tho the sausage will impact points value. If you're looking to scale back points, consider whole wheat (or Ronzoni) noodles, or substitute thinly sliced eggplant or zucchini in stead of noodles.

Provided by Becky Wilder

Time 6h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb lean ground meat of your choice (i prefer chicken)
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
28 oz can tomatoes, crushed
15 oz can tomato sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano, dried
1/2 tsp basil, dried
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
1 c part skim ricotta
1 1/2 c part skim mozzarella
6 uncooked lasagna noodles (more or less to suit)
1/2 c parm, romano, or asiago cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken, chicken sausage, onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5 to 7 minutes. I also add mushrooms after the meat browns, but that's optional. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes; simmer 5 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, stir together ricotta cheese and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • 3. Spoon 1/3 of beef mixture into a 5-quart slow cooker. Break 3 lasagna sheets in half and arrange over beef mixture; top with half of ricotta mixture. Repeat with another layer and finish with remaining 1/3 of beef mixture.
  • 4. Cover slow cooker and cook on low setting for 4 to 6 hours. Remove cover; turn off heat and season to taste, if desired.
  • 5. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over beef mixture. Cover and set aside until cheese melts and lasagna firms up, about 10 minutes. Yields 1/6th of dish per serving.
  • 6. Notes: To boost your vegetable intake, add a can of zucchini in tomato sauce to the meat mixture. You can also add 2 cups of sliced mushrooms to meat mixture. I add the chicken sausage (Italian style) to the mixture to kick the flavor a little, but it's great without it too. Adding it will affect points value. Without it, this recipe is 10 points per serving.

Categories     Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 units lasagna noodles
25 ounces chicken breasts
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoons cumin
1 units onion
14.5 ounces tomatoes
4 ounces green chilies
16 ounces taco sauce
15 ounces black beans
2 cups cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook the noodles according to the package directions. While noodles are cooking, using your hands, break the chunks of canned chicken up until the chicken looks shredded and place in medium size bowl. Add in chili powder, cumin, onion, tomatoes, green chilies, 1 cup taco sauce and black beans.
  • Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place the remaining taco sauce evenly in the bottom of the pan, followed by 4 lasagna noodles (you’ll need to overlap the noodles slightly). Pour ½ of the chicken mixture over the noodles and spread evenly, and then sprinkle with ½ of the cheese. Place the last 4 noodles evenly on top, pour on rest of chicken mixture; spread evenly, and then sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Spray the top of the cheese lightly with non-stick cooking spray (this will help cheese melt better).
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake 40-45 minutes or until hot in center. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
