Lasagna Recipe

Nutmeg is the secret ingredient in our low calorie recipe. While you are preparing the creamy cheese sauce, cook your lasagna as directed on the package, adding a teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. This recipe will make 12 servings of lasagna - so cook 1 dozen noodles.

Each serving contains about 275 calories.

When lasagna noodles are firm but not hard (al dente) remove from heat and drain. Place one large spoon of the filling mixture (recipe below) on the end of each noodle and roll so that it resembles a small haystack.

Place all 12 into a baking dish and top with the creamy sauce mixture listed below + 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese - skim version which should be sprinkled over the top. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until bubbly and lasagna is desired firmness.

Lasagna Filling Ingredients - Simply mix well:

15 ounces of Ricotta cheese (skim/reduced calories & fat)

10 ounces of frozen spinach, squeezed completely dry

1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese - skim variety

1 egg, beaten

salt & pepper to suit personal taste

Creamy Sauce Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons of light margarine

2 Tablespoons of flour (all purpose)

1 1/4 cups of skim milk

salt & pepper to suit personal taste

Just a pinch of nutmeg

Heat margarine in a deep non stick pan on the stove top on low heat; add flour and quickly stir to make a smooth paste. Add milk, salt and pepper. Cook until sauce thickens and add nutmeg. 

This low calorie lasagna recipe may also be topped with marinara sauce if you prefer a red versions. This a vegetarian friendly recipe.
