I tried these a couple of months ago and they came out so yummy. I love lasagna, but if I am not careful I can polish off half a pan before I knew what happened. This recipe gives me the craving killer of yummy lasagna goodness, with the portion control I need to stay on track.

Ingredients:
10 whole wheat lasagna noodles, cooked to al dente (about 8 minutes), well drained
1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce (no sugar added, I like Ragu Lite or Amy's Pasta Sauce)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups baby spinach, loosely packed and chopped well
1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups part-skim, shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese (small curd if possible)
1 egg white
1 teaspoon dried oregano Kosher or sea salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

DirectionsPreheat oven to 425 degrees. Add 1 1/4 cups marinara to a 13" x 9" x 2" casserole dish. In a large skillet, add oil and heat to medium-low heat. Saute garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chopped spinach and saute until wilted, about 3 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic, spinach, ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, cottage cheese, egg white, oregano, salt and pepper.

On a work surface, lined with parchment paper, arrange lasagna noodles flat, add 1/4 cup cheese and spinach mixture to each noodle, spread evenly to cover noodles. Start rolling the noodle at the end closest to you. Place lasagna rolls seam side down, not quite touching, in the prepared casserole dish. Evenly spread 1 cup marinara over rolls, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 20 minutes, or until cheese is hot and bubbly. If desired, serve rolls with additional heated marinara.

    I made a yummy soup tonight.
    pkg Miracle Noodles
    1 1/2 cups Swanson Chinese hot/sour broth
    a few fresh mushrooms
    1/4 broccoli slaw
    1/2 cup spinach
    Rinse the noodles under warm water few mins, then toss into pan with broth and vegetables and boil.

    Very low in calories since Miracle Noodles are utilized. I imagine you could use any fresh or frozen vegetables.
