Ingredients
Serves: 2
Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cook time: 55 Minutes
Calories: 200 kcal per serving
Total Fat: 3.5 g
Steps: 2
Ingredients
spray oil
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 celery sticks, diced
1 large carrot, diced
150g small mushrooms, quartered
200g canned chopped tomatoes
a pinch of dried basil or some shredded leaves
3 medium courgettes
200g fat-free cottage cheese
100g 0% fat Greek yoghurt
1 small free-range egg, beaten
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. Lightly spray a saucepan with oil and set over a low to medium heat. Cook the onion, garlic, celery and carrot, stirring occasionally, for 8โ10 minutes until tender but not coloured. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for 2โ3 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes with their juice and continue cooking for about 10 minutes until the mixture reduces and thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Meanwhile, cut each courgette lengthways into 4 long slices. Lightly spray a griddle or frying pan with oil and set over a medium to high heat. Add the sliced courgette, a few at a time to the hot pan and cook for 1โ2 minutes each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
4. Preheat the oven to 200ยฐC, gas mark 6. In a bowl, beat together the cottage cheese, yoghurt and egg. Season with a little salt and pepper.
5. Assemble the lasagne: cover the base of a small ovenproof dish with four courgette slices. Top with half of the vegetable mixture and cover with four more courgette slices. Spoon half of the cottage cheese mixture over the top and then the remaining vegetable mixture. Cover with the rest of the courgettes and spoon the remaining cottage cheese mixture over the top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25โ30 minutes until bubbling and golden. Serve immediately.
Tip: You could substitute sliced pumpkin or aubergine for the courgette in this recipe. The calories will remain approximately the same.
Iโm so proud of Jo โค๏ธ
