Hi
Stole this from the carb-lite website - I've got to say - if you're missing pasta - this really hits the spot. I always have some in the freezer.
No Noodle Lasagne
1/2 small onion -- diced
1/2 red or green bell pepper -- diced
454g ricotta cheese
2 eggs -- beaten slightly
250g tomato sauce
1/2 small can tomato paste
1/2 cup dry red wine
fresh chopped parsley
5 large mushrooms -- sliced thin
2 med zucchini -- sliced lengthwise
454g spinach -- steamed
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic -- crushed
250g mozzarella cheese -- shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese -- shredded
Brown the meat in about 2 Tablespoons olive oil. When meat is nearly done, add the onions and bell pepper and saute until the onions just begin to soften.
Add garlic and continue cooking until onions are transparent. Add tomato sauce and tomato paste along with the red wine. Mix well; add seasonings and simmer until quite thick.
Beat the eggs and ricotta together with some fresh chopped parsley, salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 325°F-160°C.
Spray a 9 x 13 230x330mm baking dish with olive oil or butter flavour Pam. Spread 1/2 of the meat mixture in the bottom of the pan. Top with sliced zucchini. Spread zucchini with the ricotta mixture, and top with spinach and mushroom slices.
Top that layer with half of the cheeses. Cover with remaining meat mixture, top with remaining cheese. Bake at 325°F-160°C until the cheese is bubbly and starting to get golden (about 35 to 45 minutes.)
Serves 8
