Made this tonight, and it was absolutely delicious! Low calorie and low-sodium dish!

2 cans no-salt added black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
4 whole eggs
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with chiles, drained
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 can no-salt added tomato paste
2 small cans no-salt added tomato sauce
1 tbsp dried sage
1 tbsp dried thyme
9 sprigs fresh cilantro, diced
9 lasagna noodles, boiled and drained according to package instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Boil and drain.

On a stovetop, heat onions and garlic over medium heat until onions are soft. Add tomato paste, tomato sauce, Rotel, thyme, sage, and cilantro. Heat until flavors are strong. If using stainless steel pan, first spray with high temp cooking spray to avoid sticking. Add drained black beans until well-mixed. Remove from heat and set aside. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and add ricotta and mozzarella cheese. Mix well.

Spray glass baking pan with cooking spray. Form a layer of 3 lasagna noodles on bottom of pan and spread a thin layer of egg and cheese mixture on top. Top with another 1/2" thick layer of black bean mixture. Add another layer of noodles and repeat layering for 3 layers. Top layer should be black bean mixture.

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. After baking is done, let pan sit for 10 minutes until cool to allow layers to thicken properly.

Serves 8. Makes generous portion too, and goes well with a side salad and some fresh bread.

    It *SHOULD* work also with egg substitute. Not sure if that would help.

    We are trying to trim down our meat consumption also. Please let me know how you like it! My meat-lover husband loved it so I took that as a victory :)

    That's a really good idea. This recipe is very low calorie for lasagna as is, and I bet if you did the cupcake size, you could even use them for an appetizer or snack!
