Core Lasagna
If you can find whole wheat lasagna noodles it's super easy to make a lasagna that is simply filling. Here's what I do....
I take 1 lb of extra lean hamburger and brown it with:
1 tbsp dried onion flakes
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp splenda
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic salt
1 1/2 tsp basil or oregano
Once it's browned, add:
1 12oz can tomato paste
1 15oz can tomato sauce
3 1/2 cups of water
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer this for about 10 minutes (mixture will be thin)
Then I take a container of fat free cottage cheese and stir 1 egg into it and set aside
Now you assemble. In a sprayed 9x13 dish ladle out a bit of sauce to cover the bottom. Lay out 3 noodles (uncooked) top with some more sauce. Then spread out the cottage cheese mixture on top of that. Next lay out 3 more noodle on top of that. Top with more of the sauce and a sprinkling of fat free shredded mozarella. Top with 3 more noodles and pour over the remaining sauce. Cover with foil. At this point you can refrigerate to bake later in the day or you can pop it right into a 350 oven. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, if you have refrigerated it, then bake it for 2 hours. Let this sit for about 10 minutes before slicing. It's delicious and super easy. I usually use about 2 cups total of the fat free shredded mozarella for that layer and the cottage cheese size is the larger sized one (24 oz? - I'm guessing as I don't have one now for the exact measure)
It makes a nice big pan of lasagna. I can't always find the whole wheat lasagna noodle though so I don't make this very often, but it is really good!
