Healthy Lasagne


1 clove garlic and 1 small brown onion - chopped/diced.

1/4 small green bell pepper and 1/4 small red bell pepper - chopped/diced


In a frypan, cook the above in 1 tablespoon olive oil until onion is transparent and bell pepper is limp.

Turn up the heat and add 500g (about 1 lb.) of minced turkey, chicken, or lean beef.  Cook until browned, drain.

Add 1 teaspoon oregano, salt and pepper to taste,  1 can chopped tomatoes and one small tub of tomato

paste.

Simmer 15 minutes.


Soak 4 sheets of pre-cooked lasagne sheets for 10 minutes in room temperature water. These are for the top layers.


Mix 3/4 tub of 500g light cottage cheese (Weight Watchers is good) and 1/2 of 500g tub light Ricotta cheese with one 250g (1/2 lb) defrosted frozen chopped spinach.


Layer 1) lasagne, 2) spinach/cheese mix, and 3) cooked meat/veggies, in an olive oil greased corning-ware/pyrex dish.

Repeat layering, pre-soaked lasagne in the last 2 layers, finish with the meat on top.


Cook 35 minutes in a 190C (375F) oven, uncovered. Let stand 10-15 minutes, then serve with garlic bread and salad.


Enjoy,
