Healthy Lasagna

I made this high protein lasagna and it tasted just like delicious, traditional, homemade lasagna should! Plus, it was easy!

Always comment with any questions, suggestions, or tell me how it is if you try it! 

What you Need:
   1½ lbs of lean ground beef
   6 oz. whole wheat lasanga noodles
   2.5 cups Hunts traditional spaghetti sauce
   2 cups fat free cottage cheese
   9 oz. pkg. frozen spinach (cooked as directed and drain excess water)
   8 egg whites
   8 oz. mushrooms
   1 cup fat free mozzarella cheese

      
 What to Do:
•   Cook ground beef until brown.
•   Boil noodles as directed by package.
   Spray a 9”x13” pan with cooking spray and spread a few tablespoons of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the pan.
   Mix the rest of the ingredients, except for the fat free mozzarella cheese.
   Lay down ½ of the noodles and top with half of the cottage cheese mixture.
   Layer with the rest of the noodles and top with the other half of the mixture.
   Lastly, put the fat free cheese on top.
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.


***The cool thing about recipes is that you can always put your own spin on them.  For this I used ground turkey instead of beef, and I didn't use mushrooms.  If you want any of the nutritional information for this or for my version comment!
