Rave: Fat free cottage cheese instead of ricotta
I made a yummy vegetable lasagna that I put together without a real recipe to go by.
Sauted onions and garlic in EVOO, then added 1 sliced zucchini, 1 chooped green pepper, and 1 small pack of mini portobello mushrooms which I chopped smaller, then a bag of fresh spinach, which I also chopped. Each time I added the veggies I added a tiny bit of salt. Added a dash of crushed red pepper, dried oregano, black pepper, and a handful of chopped fresh basil.
Used a jar of marinara to layer this veggie mix with lasagna noodles, a mix of 1 cup of fat free cottage cheese and 1 block of part-skim mozzarella. I added milk to the cheese mixture to moisten and no parmesean because it tends to dry it out when you don't use eggs. The liquid from the veggies also kept it moist.
So I don't know if the cottage cheese in place of ricotta is a new concept but I think I actually made a healthy dish (minus the white lasagna noodles)!
