Vegetable Lasagna Recipe


  • Vegetable Lasagna 
  • 8 ounces dried lasagna noodles (9 or 10 noodles)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2cups cream-style cottage cheese
  • 1 15 ounce carton ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning, crushed
  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and thoroughly drained
  • 1 10 ounce package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and thoroughly drained
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 3/4cup shredded Parmesan cheese (3 ounces)
  • 1 8 ounce package shredded mozzarella cheese (2 cups)
Directions
1. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl combine eggs, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet cook mushrooms, onion, and garlic in hot oil until tender. Stir in the flour and pepper; add milk all at once. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in the spinach, broccoli, carrot, and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese. 
4. To assemble, in a greased 3-quart rectangular baking dish, layer one-third of the noodles, folding or cutting to fit, if necessary. Spread with one-third of the cottage cheese mixture, then one-third of the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella. Repeat the layers twice. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 35 minutes or until heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
6. Makes 12 servings


**I like to also add one single layer of tomato slices in the center of the layers!
