HEALTHIER LASAGNA/LASAGNE
I found this recipe in Men's Health magazine. Considering it is far lower in calorie content than a standard lasagne it really is very tasty. It cuts down on all the fatty and calorie rich ingredients, such as the mozzarella and ground meat and packs in a lot of extra vegetables.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
- In a non stick frying pan, brown the meat for about 7 minutes. Season with salt.
- Drain any excess fat from the pan by placing the meat into a sieve, keep aside.
- In the same pan, fry the onion, garlic, celery, carrot and mushrooms in a little olive oil for about five minutes.
- Add the meat back to the pan and add the tomato paste and chopped tomatoes at the same time.
- Season using the oregano, basil and sugar. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
- Simmer for about 15 minutes.
- In the meantime add the spinach, zucchini, cottage cheese and egg whites together in a bowl. Using a hand blender of food processor, blitz the ingredients until you achieve a sauce.
- Spread 1/4 of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a large lasagne dish. Cover with three lasange sheets. Next add another layer, using another 1/4 of the tomato sauce and then cover with half the cottage cheese sauce. Place the remaining three lasagne sheets over the top and cover with the remaining cottage cheese sauce.
- Cover with tin foil and bake for 45 minutes. After that time, remove the foil and top with the grated mozzarella cheese. Then return to the oven for a further 15 minutes.
- Serve with a green side salad.
- Note: As zuccini contain a lot of water, you might first want to place the grated pieces in a collander and sprinkle them with a little salt. Squeeze out any excess water before adding with the other ingredients. This is optional.
