Green & Red Lasagna

Prep Time 35 Minutes Cook Time 20 Minutes Baking Time 1 hour

Ingredients

Tomato-Mushroom Sauce
1 egg 1 egg white
1 package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 cups low fat cottage cheese
1/3 cup grated Romano cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 ounces dry lasagna noodles
1 1/2 cups (about 6 oz.) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

Prepare Tomato-Mushroom Sauce.
Meanwhile, in a medium-size bowl, beat egg and egg white to blend; then stir in spinach, cottage and Romano cheeses, pepper, and nutmeg.
Spread a fourth of the sauce in a 9- by 13-inch casserole; top with a third of the uncooked lasagna noodles.
Spoon on a third of the spinach mixture.
Repeat layers of sauce, lasagna, and spinach mixture until all ingredients are used; end with sauce.
Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Cover tightly with foil.
Bake, covered, in a 375° oven until lasagna noodles are tender to bite
Let stand, covered, for about 10 minutes; then cut into squares to

Tomato-Mushroom Sauce. Heat 1 teaspoon olive
oil in a wide (at least 12-inch) nonstick frying pan
over medium heat. Add 2 large onions, finely
chopped;  8 ounces mushrooms,
thinly sliced; 3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed; 1
teaspoon dry oregano; and 2 1/2 teaspoons dry basil.
Cook, stirring often, until liquid has evaporated
and onions are very soft (15 to 20 minutes).

Stir in 1 large can (about 15 oz.) no-salt-added
tomato sauce, 1 can (about 6 oz.) tomato paste, 1
tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce and 1/2 cup
dry red wine. Cook, stirring, until mixture comes
to a boil; use hot.
The reason there are two different fonts for this recipe is because the web site that I got this recipe from did not include the Tomato Mushroom Sauce recipe.  So I had to create an PDF and then make it into a document so that it would be complete.
May be going to a Metro meeting tonight.  Metro is planning on changing a number of bus routs.  They clame that they have no money but, yet they have installed computers on the buses that call out the stops and light up and tell you what street you are at and allso gives the time.  Yet they say that they have no money for buses. Right!!
