I realized a very sad fact yesterday - I don't think I had used my oven in over 3 weeks. For me - this is a shockingly long time. And so, in honor of my neglected oven, I decided to whip up a meal that managed to use nearly every inch of my tiny counter space, cook-top and food processor - veggie lasagna.
I find that lasagna is one of those foods that makes you work for its delicious flavors - so many assembly items! But this one was worth it.
I used this Recipe but then changed it up a bit
The layers:
- Whole wheat noodles (I typically use the whole box, because I like a sturdy lasagna)
- Ricotta mixture
- 15 oz carton of low-fat ricotta cheese
- 2 eggs
- a few teaspoons each of Italian seasoning & parsley
- 12 oz of fresh spinach
- 1 crown of broccoli
- 3 carrots
- Handful of mushrooms
This recipe made a very full 8x13" pan full of oozing layers - I think it weighed at least 3 lbs.
I'll eat my servings of vegetables like this any day :)
