Zucchini Lasagne
- 2 large zucchini
- 1/4 c. white or whole wheat pastry flour
- salt (if desired) to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- oil for frying (use as little as possible)
- 1 (15 oz.) container part-skim Ricotta (I use no fat cottage cheese)
- 1 egg white, plus 1 whole egg
- 1 tsp. oregano
- 1/4 c. grated Parmesan, divided
- 2 c. spaghetti sauce (homemade or from a jar), divided
- 1/2 lb. part-skim Mozzarella, shredded (divided; I use low-fat version)
- Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices.
- Mix the flour with the salt and pepper (or alternate no salt seasoning) and dip both sides of zucchini slices into the mixture.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil and fry the zucchini slices, half at a time, over medium heat until they are golden, turning them once. Remove the zucchini to a platter covered with a paper towel.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Ricotta, egg white and whole egg, oregano and 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan.
- In the bottom of a baking pan, approximately 12 x 8 x 2-inches, spread 1 cup of the spaghetti sauce, top with half the zucchini slices, then half the Ricotta mixture and half the Mozzarella.
- Repeat the layers.
- Sprinkle lasagne with the remaining Parmesan.
- Bake the lasagne in a preheated 350u0b0 oven for 45 minutes or until lasagne is bubbly.
- Let the lasagne stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Makes 6 servings.
