Description
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces broccoli florets (about 1 cup)
4 ounces button mushrooms, sliced (about 1 heaping cup)
4 ounces zucchini or yellow summer squash, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
4 ounces asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
2 ounces baby spinach leaves (about 2 cups)
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded or grated low-fat mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking Instructions
Cook the pasta using the package directions, omitting the salt. Drain well in a colander. Carefully place the pasta in a single layer on a large piece of wax paper and pat dry. Cut each noodle crosswise into 3 pieces. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the broccoli, mushrooms, and zucchini for 4 to 5 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the asparagus, spinach, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
To assemble, place a piece of pasta on a microwaveable dinner plate. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the ricotta on top. Spoon 1/2 cup of the broccoli mixture over the ricotta. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons mozzarella. Repeat. Place a third piece of pasta on top. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons Parmesan. Repeat on separate plates with the remaining ingredients for the other three servings.
Microwave 1 plate of lasagna for 1 minute on 100 percent power (high), or until the Parmesan is melted. Set aside. Repeat one at a time with the remaining servings.
