Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

9 lasagna noodles
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
½ cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (16 ounce) can refried black beans
2 ¾ cups canned tomato sauce
½ cup salsa
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
1 ½ cups cottage cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup sour cream
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
¼ cup sliced ripe olives
8 sprigs fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  • Coat a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray, and place over medium heat. Saute onion, red bell pepper, corn and garlic until tender. Stir in black beans, refried beans, tomato sauce, salsa and 1/4 cup cilantro. Cook until heated through and slightly thickened; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, ricotta, sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese and remaining 1/4 cup chopped cilantro; set aside.
  • Coat a 9x13 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange 3 of the cooked lasagna noodles in the bottom of the dish, cutting to fit if necessary. Spread with 1/3 of the bean mixture, then 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice more.
  • Cover, and bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Garnish with sliced black olives and sprigs of cilantro.

I didn't have any ricotta cheese, so I used cottage cheese instead. It turned out great!

The lasagna was falling apart when I took it out of the oven. I think I should have cooked it for a little less time.

I found this lasagna to be a bit bland. It needed more seasoning.

This lasagna was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure it would be perfect for someone who enjoys a little heat.
