Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup Shamrock Farms® Low Fat Cottage Cheese
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ small yellow onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) jar tomato sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, with juice
3 cups uncooked pasta
2 cups water
1 cup baby spinach, or to taste
1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Add the Shamrock Farms Low Fat Cottage Cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside until needed.
  • Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and onion. Cook the onion for 2 minutes and then add in green pepper and garlic. Cook another 4 to 5 minutes and then add in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, pasta, and water. Stir until everything is mixed evenly.
  • Cover and let simmer for about 30 minutes, until noodles are cooked through. You will need to stir the lasagna a few times to make sure that the pasta cooks evenly. This is especially important if using lasagna noodles because they have a tendency to stick together more.
  • Once pasta is cooked through, remove the lid and stir in the spinach and 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Next, top with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and then spoon the blended cottage cheese over the top. Cover again and let cook for another 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5 stars. It's a decent lasagna, but it's not anything special.

Overall, this is a good recipe for a quick and easy lasagna. It's not the most flavorful lasagna I've ever had, but it's a solid choice for a weeknight meal.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making a few adjustments to suit your own taste. For example, you could add more garlic or oregano to the sauce, or use a different type of cheese for the filling.

The instructions were a bit confusing, and I ended up making a few mistakes. The lasagna still tasted good, but it wasn't as perfect as I would have liked.

This lasagna was too cheesy for my taste. I would have preferred a more balanced flavor profile.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lasagna turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I substituted it with cottage cheese. The lasagna was still delicious, and my family didn't even notice the difference.

I love that this recipe uses whole wheat lasagna noodles. It makes the dish a little healthier, and the noodles held up well during cooking.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the ground beef for lentils. The lasagna was still hearty and flavorful, and my meat-eating husband even enjoyed it!
