We found this recipe in Cooking Light’s October 2003 issue. Use low-fat ingredients and oven-ready lasagna noodles.
- 4 C torn spinach
- 2C sliced mushrooms
- 1/2C pesto
- 3/4C shredded mozzarella
- 3/4C shredded provolone
- 15oz ricotta
- 1 large egg
- 3/4C grated Parmesan, divided
- 25oz tomato-basil pasta sauce
- 8oz tomato sauce
- 8oz pkg oven-ready lasagna noodles
- Steam/defrost spinach, squeeze dry, coarsely chop. Combine with mushrooms and pesto in a medium bowl.
- Combine mozzarella, provolone, ricotta, and beaten egg in medium bowl, stir in 1/4C Parmesan.
- Combine pasta sauce and tomato sauce in medium bowl.
- Spread 1C pasta sauce in bottom of Crockpot, then layer noodles, 1C cheese, 1C spinach. Repeat layers, ending with spinach, then put 3 noodles on top followed by remaining cheese and 1C sauce. Put another 3 noodles on top of that and top with remaining sauce and remaining Parmesan.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.










I love adding mushrooms and spinach to my lasagnas, it makes them more filling without adding extra calories and fat. I also like to use low fat cottage cheese in place of the ricotta. Thanks for sharing!
