Meatless Monday - Epicure's Easy Vegetarian Lasagna

Welcome dinner guests with this deliciously easy, veggie-friendly lasagna. 

Makes 16 servings

Cost Per Serving: 2.59

Prep Time: 15 - 20 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 4 cups (1 L) low-fat ricotta or cottage cheese
• 2/3 cup (160 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tsp (10 ml) Epicure's Pizza Seasoning
• 6 cups (1.5 L) prepared Epicure's Marinara Sauce (find recipe online)
• 2 cups (500 ml) water
• 24 pre-cooked, oven-ready lasagna noodles
• 4 cups (1 L) grated, partly-skimmed mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C).
2. Combine eggs, ricotta or cottage cheese, Parmesan and Pizza Seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, mix Marinara Sauce with water – thinning sauce ensures proper re-hydration of pre-cooked noodles during cooking.
4. Lightly grease 2 – 9" x 13" (23 x 33 cm) baking dishes and spread 1/2 cup (125 ml) sauce in the bottom of each. Layer with 3 lasagna noodles.
5. Top with 3/4 cup (180 ml) sauce and 1/3 ricotta cheese mixture. Repeat with two more layers of noodles, sauce and cheese mixture.
6. Add a final layer of noodles and sauce and top with mozzarella.
7. Bake, covered, for 40 minutes, or until mozzarella is melted and sauce is bubbling. Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until mozzarella is lightly browned.
8. Let rest on counter 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Try whole-grain noodles for added fill-you-up-fast fibre.
