Recipe : Hearty Vegetable Lasagna

Makes 6 servings

9 ounces uncooked curly or plain lasagna noodles (9 noodles)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 cups chopped broccoli
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
1/3 cup fat-free egg substitute
1/4 cup minced fresh basil
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups tomato sauce (no salt added)
2 1/4 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 400o F.
In large pot of boiling water, cook lasagna noodles 10-12 minutes, until tender.
Drain, discarding liquid. Place into large bowl of cold water; set aside.
Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, heat oil; add onions. Cook over medium heat,
stirring frequently, 3-5 minutes, until onions are softened. Add red and green
bell peppers; cook, stirring frequently, 5 minutes, until peppers are tender. Add
broccoli, garlic and salt; stir to combine. Cook, covered, 10 minutes, until
vegetables are very tender. Remove from heat; set aside.
In medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg substitute, basil, Parmesan cheese
and black pepper.
Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce in 13 x 9" baking pan; drain noodles.
To assemble lasagna, top sauce in pan with 3 noodles, overlapping edges if
necessary. Spread noodles with one third of the ricotta cheese mixture, one third
of the vegetable mixture and 1/2 cup of the remaining tomato sauce; sprinkle
evenly with one third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers two more times.
Bake 45 minutes, until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling. Remove from oven;
let stand 10 minutes. Divide evenly among 6 plates and serve.
