I wanted to try to keep it as healthy as possible. Plus, this recipe calls for only 6 ingredients! So, click play on the playlist at the bottom, and enjoy the recipe below. Keep in mind, 1.) When I'm baking/cooking, I need all types of music to keep me entertained and 2.) I altered the recipe to meet my taste preferences (you can also do the same):
1 large eggplant, sliced thinly (about 1/4")
2 cups of broccoli (The recipe calls for mushrooms, so you can use them also)
1 cup diced onions
1 cup ricotta cheese (The recipe calls for cottage cheese, but what's lasagna without ricotta?)
1 bag (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella (I used skim)
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
- 1. Using a 9x13 pan, add a thin layer of sauce to the bottom of the pan.
- 2. Add first layer of eggplant. (As you layer all the veggies add any desired spices such as salt and pepper. I added S&P, red pepper, and basil).
- 3. Add first layer of eggplant. Then, mix diced onions and ricotta cheese together and spread over eggplant.
- 4. Add another layer of sauce, a layer of shredded cheese, and then the second layer of eggplant.
- 5. Add a layer of broccoli, cover with a layer of sauce and a layer of shredded cheese.
- 6. Add final layer of eggplant, and cover with remaining cheese.
- 7. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes to brown top.
It really was a yummy dinner, and I highly recommend making the recipe! :)
