Serves: 3
Ingredients
  • 1 medium Eggplant (cut in 1” slices)
  • 2 medium Zucchini (cut into thin slices)
  • 16 oz. Fat Free Ricotta
  • ½ cup Homemade Almond Pesto (recipe on blog)
  • 1 Egg
  • 1½ cup of mozzarella (about 6 oz.)
  • 1 jar of your favorite Pasta Sauce
  • 1 handful of fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. Garlic powder
  • ½ tbsp. Black Pepper
  • Salt
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Italian Breadcrumbs
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375F. While your oven preheats, slice your Eggplant & Zucchini.
  2. Place your Eggplant slices on a lightly oiled cookie sheet. Salt and Pepper each slice & spritz with a little bit of olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes.
  3. While your eggplant is baking, in a large mixing bowl, combine the Ricotta, Homemade Almond Pesto, Egg, two pinches of Parsley, Garlic Powder & Black Pepper. Mix well.
  4. In a medium size baking dish, pour around 1 cup of Pasta Sauce along the bottom of the dish. Use a spoon and spread evenly until the entire bottom is covered.
  5. Layer your lasagna in the following order: Pasta Sauce, Zucchini, Ricotta Mixture, Eggplant. Repeat until you run out of vegetables & sauce for layering.
  6. Cover your entire dish with Mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until cheese is starting to brown and bubbly. (If doubling the recipe, bake uncovered for 50-55 minutes).
  8. Cut your baked Lasagna into individual pieces. To plate, place ⅓ cup of breadcrumbs in the middle of your plate. Place an individual piece of lasagna directly on top of breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with fresh Parsley and serve.
