Black Bean Lasagna
Ingredients
  • 9
    lasagna noodles (8 ounces)
  • 2
    15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1/2
    cup chopped onion
  • 1/2
    cup chopped green sweet pepper
  • 2
    cloves garlic, minced
  • 2
    15 ounce can low-sodium tomato sauce or tomato sauce with seasonings
  • 1/4
    cup snipped fresh cilantro
  • 1
    12 ounce container low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1
    8 ounce package reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel)
  • 1/4
    cup light dairy sour cream
  • Tomato slices (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
Directions

1. Cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Mash one can of the beans; set aside.

2. Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray; add onion, green sweet pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat until tender but not brown. Add mashed beans, unmashed beans, tomato sauce, and snipped cilantro; heat through.

3. In a large bowl combine cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream; set aside. Spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish or 3-quart rectangular casserole with nonstick coating. Arrange three of the noodles in the dish. Top with one-third of the bean mixture. Spread with one-third of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice, ending with bean mixture. Reserve the remaining cheese mixture.

4. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree F oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until heated through. Dollop with reserved cheese mixture. Let stand for 10 minutes. Garnish with tomato slices and cilantro, if desired. Makes 8 servings.

I make this all the time and love it, but I find it much easier to use the no-boil lasagna noodles instead.

This dish was ok... my husband and I agreed that it's ok for once in a while but not a recipe to add to our regular rotation. Our 5 & 3 year old kids ate it so that was a bonus. There was just something strange about the cottage cheese/cream cheese mixture with the black beans.
