Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 medium zucchini, ends removed, sliced lengthwise
1 large portabella mushroom, sliced into strips
1 large eggplant, ends removed, sliced lengthwise
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 (16-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, thoroughly drained and patted dry
2 tablespoons fat-free liquid egg substitute
1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash ground nutmeg
1 cup ground-beef-style soy crumbles, thawed from frozen
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Lay several paper towels next to the stove; as you cook the veggies, transfer them to the paper towels to drain excess moisture.
  • Bring a very large grill pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add zucchini, portabella mushroom, and eggplant, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine crushed tomatoes with garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix well and set aside.
  • In another large bowl, combine spinach, egg substitute, ricotta cheese, basil, salt, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
  • Evenly coat the bottom of an 8-inch by 8-inch pan with about half of the seasoned crushed tomatoes. Evenly layer half of the sliced veggies over the tomatoes. Spread half of the spinach mixture into an even layer over the veggies. Top evenly with soy crumbles.
  • Evenly layer remaining veggies into the pan, placing them perpendicular to the first layer, followed by the remaining spinach mixture. Evenly cover with remaining seasoned crushed tomatoes. Evenly distribute mozzarella cheese and grated topping over the crushed tomatoes.
  • Bake in the oven until lasagna is hot and mozzarella cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Allow to cool slightly, cut into quarters, and enjoy!

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 large zucchini
1 tablespoon salt
1 pound ground beef
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 cup tomato paste
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
¼ cup red wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
hot water as needed
1 egg
1 (15 ounce) container low-fat ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
8 ounces grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a deep 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Slice zucchini lengthwise into very thin slices. Sprinkle slices lightly with salt; set aside to drain in a colander.
  • To prepare the meat sauce, cook and stir ground beef and black pepper in a large skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Add in green pepper and onion; cook and stir until meat is no longer pink. Stir in tomato paste, tomato sauce, wine, basil, and oregano, adding a small amount of hot water if sauce is too thick. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer sauce for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Meanwhile, stir egg, ricotta, and parsley together in a bowl until well combined.
  • To assemble lasagna, spread 1/2 of the meat sauce into the bottom of prepared pan. Then layer 1/2 the zucchini slices, 1/2 the ricotta mixture, all of the spinach, followed by all of the mushrooms, then 1/2 the mozzarella cheese. Repeat by layering the remaining meat sauce, zucchini slices, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella. Spread Parmesan cheese evenly over the top; cover with foil.
  • Bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil; raise oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake an additional 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your lasagna a more flavorful and colorful filling. Some good options include zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, spinach, and bell peppers.
  • Slice your vegetables thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the lasagna pan: If you try to fit too much filling into the pan, it will be difficult to cook evenly and the lasagna will be more likely to fall apart.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in lasagna, so it's worth it to splurge on a good one. Look for a cheese that is flavorful and melts well.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna: Lasagna is best when it is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooking will make the lasagna dry and tough.

Conclusion:

No-noodle veggie lasagna is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional lasagna. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make a no-noodle veggie lasagna that is sure to impress your family and friends.
