Ingredients

dried lasagna noodles

6 cups broccoli florets

1 large red sweet pepper cut into strips

1 medium zucchini sliced

1 medium yellow summer squash sliced

2 Eggs beaten

1 16-oz tub low-fat cottage cheese

1 15-oz tub light ricotta cheese

1/2 cup fresh basil snipped

2 tablespoon fresh thyme snipped

3 cloves Garlic minced

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce

3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded

fresh basil snipped, (optional)


Directions

Grease a 3-quart rectangular baking dish; set aside. In a large saucepan, cook lasagna noodles in boiling lightly salted water for 10 to 12 minutes or until tender but still firm. Drain noodles; rinse with cold water. Drain well. Meanwhile, place a steamer basket in a Dutch oven. Add water to just below the bottom of the steamer basket. Bring to boiling. Add broccoli, sweet pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash. Reduce heat; cover and steam for 6 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from heat. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, the 1/2 cup basil, thyme, garlic, salt, hot pepper sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Layer three of the cooked noodles in prepared dish. Spread with one-third of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with one-third of the vegetable mixture and 1 cup of the mozarella cheese. Repeat layers twice more. Bake, covered, in a 375 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until heated through. Uncover; let stand for 10 minutes before cutting to serve. Makes 8 main-dish servings.

Very good. Used carrots vs summer squash because I had that on hand. Also, added a little chevre and marscapone mixture. Probably not good if you're going for the low-fat thing, but made it even creamier.
