Florentine Lasagna Bake

Clock

Ingredients

  • 6 whole-grain lasagna noodles
  • ¼ lb ground round
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5-oz) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  • ½ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed (see Note)
  • 1 (4-oz) carton 2% low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 egg white
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp pepper
  • ¾ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook pasta according to package directions.
  2. Cook beef and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly. Add tomatoes, breaking tomatoes into small pieces.
  3. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until thickened.
  4. Squeeze spinach between paper towels to remove excess moisture; process spinach, cottage cheese, egg white, salt, and pepper in a food processor.
  5. Place 2 lasagna noodles in bottom of a lightly greased 9-x 5-inch loaf pan. Top with a thin layer of spinach mixture, a thin layer of meat mixture, and one third of mozzarella. Repeat layers twice.
  6. Bake 20 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and sauce is bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
