QUINOA LASAGNE

I've made this one a few times and it really is Oh so Good.  Using a layer of Quinoa instead of Noodles, along with vegetables, cheese and herbs.   It tastes like the Real Thing, but without that heavy feeling after you eat it.   I found this recipe on EATING WELL.  LOVE THIS RECIPE!

Give it a try, then give me a call .... I'll be right over!

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil or olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups tomato sauce or prepared pasta sauce
  • 2 cups no-salt-added low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 cups sliced zucchini
  • 2 cups packed fresh spinach, tough stems removed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
PREPARATION
  1. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Evenly spread the quinoa in the prepared dish.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. Wipe out the saucepan, then add oil and heat over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, until transparent and starting to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are softened and very little moisture is left in the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and sauce. Stir until hot. Remove from heat.
  4. Combine cottage cheese and egg in a medium bowl; mix well. Stir in Parmesan, basil and oregano.
  5. Spread one-third of the sauce over the quinoa. Make a layer of all the zucchini, then all the cottage cheese mixture, then half the remaining sauce, then all the spinach. Finish with the remaining sauce and spread mozzarella on top.
  6. Bake the lasagna until it is hot and the cheese is melted, bubbling and slightly browned around the edges, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
