Recipe: No-Tomato Lasagna (with Low-Fat Alfredo Sauce)

Main Dishes - Pasta, Sauces
NO-TOMATO LASAGNA

12 ounces super lean ground beef
1/2 cup basil pesto
1/2 cup beef broth
2 cups grated zucchini
1 1/2 cups skim ricotta cheese
2/3 cup chopped green onion, if tolerated
12 ounces wide lasagna noodles
2 cups Low-Fat Alfredo Sauce (recipe follows)
1 1/2 cups grated skim mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water until just tender. Drain well.

In a nonstick frying pan coated with canola cooking spray, brown the ground beef. (Do this while noodles are cooking.) Add browned beef to a large bowl, along with pesto, broth and zucchini. Toss together.

In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta with green onions.

TO ASSEMBLE THE LASAGNA:
Spread 1 cup of Low-Fat Alfredo Sauce on bottom of 9- by-13-inch pan. Add 3 strips of lasagna noodles. Spread half the beef mixture on top. Lay 3 strips of lasagna noodles. Spread the remaining beef mixture on top. Add 3 strips of lasagna noodles. Spread the very top with remaining white sauce. Sprinkle with grated mozzarella.

Bake 25 to 35 minutes.
