  • 2 cups 1% cottage cheese
  • 1 (15 ounce) container reduced-fat ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar meatless spaghetti sauce
  • 9 uncooked lasagna noodles

  • 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 small yellow summer squash, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

  1. In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, ricotta and parsley. Spread 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Top with three noodles and a third of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with half of the carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini and squash. Top with a third of the remaining sauce.
  2. Arrange half of the spinach over spaghetti sauce; sprinkle with a third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers of noodles, cheese mixture, vegetables, sauce, spinach and mozzarella. Top with the remaining noodles, cheese mixture, sauce and mozzarella.
  3. Cover tightly and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 15 minutes longer or until noodles are tender. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
