Spinach Zucchini Lasagna (Vegetarian)

"This yummy, veggie filled lasagna is taken from Lisa Kochen und Backen, a German monthly cooking and baking mag. It is easy to make, rather quick considering it's a lasagna after all and tastes sooo good. It is also on the lighter side, which in my book is always a plus. I hope youll enjoy this as much as me and my friends did. :)"

directions

  • In a big pan heat the oil. Saute garlic until nicely browned.
  • Add zucchini and spinach and saute until nearly done (about 10 minutes).
  • Season and allow to cool a tad.
  • Make the white sauce by combining ricotta, yogurt and cheese. Add this to the vegetable mixture and stir to combine. The yogurt might curdle, but that is fine.
  • Now make the red sauce by mixing both pasta sauces together.
  • For assembly start by spreading enough of the red sauce in your baking dish (I used a rectangular 22X35 cm/ 9X13 inch dish). Follow with the veggie white sauce mixture and then add a layer of lasagna noodles. Repeat until everything is used up making sure to end with a layer of sauce.
  • Sprinkle top with the remaining 5 tbs of cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 200°C/400°F for 20-30 minutes or until cooked through and bubbling.
  • Allow to stand in the pan for 5 minutes, then enjoy. :).
