Vegetarian Lasagna
Ingredients
  • 8 dried lasagna noodles
  • 1 10 ounce package frozen chopped broccoli
  • 1 14 1/2ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 15 ounce can no salt added tomato sauce
  • 1 cup  chopped celery
  • 1 cup  chopped onion
  • 1 cup  chopped green or red sweet pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons  dried basil or oregano, crushed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 2 cups  fat-free ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup  grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup  shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
  • 1/8 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon  black pepper
Directions

1. Cook noodles and broccoli separately according to their package directions; drain well. Set aside.

2. For sauce, in a large saucepan stir together tomato sauce, undrained diced tomatoes, celery, onion, sweet pepper, basil, bay leaves, garlic, and salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until sauce is thick, stirring occasionally. Discard bay leaves.

3. Meanwhile, for filling, in a bowl stir together egg, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Stir in cooked broccoli.

4. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish (3-quart glass baking dish). Top with half of the noodles, half of the filling, and half of the remaining sauce. Repeat layers, ending with the sauce.

5. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F. oven for 25 minutes; sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake about 5 minutes more or until heated through. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Makes 8 servings.
