Ingredients
  

Cottage Cheese Filling:
  • 1½ cups Fat-free cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • A splash of water (for blending)
Lasagna Layers:
  • 7 Lasagna noodles (try a yellow lentil and brown rice blend for extra fiber!)
  • 1½ cups Plant-based Bolognese sauce
  • 1 cup Reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Toppings:
  • Crushed red pepper
  • Extra Italian seasoning

Method
 

  1. Prep the Filling: In a blender, mix the cottage cheese, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, ½ tsp garlic powder, salt, pepper, and a splash of water until completely smooth and velvety.
  2. Start Your Layers: Spread a thin layer of Bolognese sauce (about ½ cup) on the bottom of a small baking dish.
  3. Build It Up: Place two lasagna noodles over the sauce. Top with a portion of the blended cottage cheese, more sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
  4. Repeat: Add more lasagna noodles and repeat the layering process once more.
  5. The Finale: After your third layer, top the entire dish with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake: Pop it into the oven at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Serve & Store: Sprinkle with red pepper and extra herbs. Slice into four sections—enjoy one now and save the rest for a stress-free week!
