Vegetable Lasagna


I completely forgot about this recipe!  I found it years ago in a magazine and it's so yummy!  A bit time consuming but so worth it!

Vegetable Lasagna
1 (10 oz) frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 (12 oz) lowfat cottage cheese (I used labneh in the Middle East)
1 egg, beaten
2 tsp olive oil
3/4 cup minced onion
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
1 (14.5 oz cans tomatoes, drained, chopped)
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup dry red wine (I used vinegar)
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tsp dried whole basil
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
6 lasagna noodles, uncooked
5 cup sliced zuchini
1 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
2 TBSP Parmesan

Press spinach to drain.  Combine spinach, cottage cheese and egg-set aside.  Coat large pan with spray- sauté onion 3 minutes.  Add mushroom and garlic- sauté until tender.  Add tomatoes and next 8 ingredients- stir well.  Reduce heat and simmer uncovered- 20 minutes.  Remove from heat and set aside.  Coat dish (12x8) with cooking spray.  Spoon 1/3 tomato mixture into dish.  Arrange 3 noodles lengthwise over tomatoes.  Top with 1 1/4 cup spinach.  Layer 2 1/2 cups zucchini over spinach and sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella.  Repeat layers.  Top with remaining tomato mixture.  Cover and refrigerate 8 hours.  Bake covered at 350 for 1 1/2 hours.  Uncover and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan before serving.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
