    List of Ingredients




    8 dried lasagna noodles
    1 10-ounce package frozen chopped broccoli
    1 14-1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes
    1 15-ounce can no salt added tomato sauce
    1 cup chopped celery
    1 cup chopped onion
    1 cup chopped green or red sweet pepper
    1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil or oregano, crushed
    2 dried bay leaves
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 large beaten egg
    2 cups fat-free ricotta cheese
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    Recipe



    1. Cook noodles and broccoli separately according to their package directions; drain well. Set aside.

    2. For sauce, in a large saucepan stir together tomato sauce, undrained diced tomatoes, celery, onion, sweet pepper, basil, bay leaves, garlic, and salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until sauce is thick, stirring occasionally. Discard bay leaves.

    3. Meanwhile, for filling, in a bowl stir together egg, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Stir in cooked broccoli.

    4. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Top with half of the noodles, half of the filling, and half of the remaining sauce. Repeat layers, ending with the sauce.

    5. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F. oven for 25 minutes; sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake about 5 minutes more or until heated through. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Makes 8 servings.
