Sherry cooking wine

1 tbsp(s), dry

Carrots

2 medium, grated

Red bell pepper

1 large, chopped

Chopped frozen spinach

10 oz, thawed and drained

Fat-free ricotta cheese

15 oz

Part-skim mozzarella cheese

6 oz, shredded

Grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup(s)

Dried oregano

8 oz, spinach

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Coat a large, nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add dry cooking sherry and heat until it sizzles. Add carrots and pepper; stir-fry until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and egg substitute. Fold in carrots and pepper.
  4. Spread 1/2 cup of tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9- x 13-inch casserole pan. Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce and spread half the cheese mixture over the noodles. Pour 1 cup of tomato sauce over the cheese mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of lasagna noodles topped with the remaining tomato sauce.
  5. Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove and let sit about 10 minutes before serving.
