Roasted Veggie Lasagna

Contributed By: alfredmom

Good recipe for leftovers all week - uses eggplant (for when it's in season at Wolf Pine Farm) and other veggies you can roast. I use organic spaghetti sauce and high fiber lasagna.

Ingredients

1 pound Eggplant, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds

1/2 pound Medium fresh mushrooms, cut into 1/4 inch slices

3 Small zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices

2 Sweet red pepper, cut lengthwise into 6 pieces each

3 tablespoons Olive oil

1 clove Garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Pepper

1 (15 ounce) container reduced-fat ricotta cheese

1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup Egg substitute

1 (26 ounce) jar Meatless spaghetti sauce

12 Lasagna noodles (cooked)

2 cups Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

3 tablespoons Minced fresh basil

Preparation

Coat large cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Place eggplant and mushrooms on a prepared pan. Place the zucchini and red pepper on the second pan. Combine the oil and garlic; brush over both sides of vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. Turn vegetables over. Bake 15 minutes longer. Remove eggplant and mushrooms. Bake zucchini and red pepper 5-10 minutes longer or until edges are browned.

In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and egg substitute. Spread about 1/4 cup pasta sauce in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Layer with four lasagna noodles (noodles will overlap slightly), half of ricotta cheese mixture, half of vegetables, a third of pasta sauce and 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with half of basil. Repeat layers. Top with the remaining noodles and pasta sauce.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until edges are bubbly and cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
