Last-Minute Lasagna

  

The rich taste in this meatless low-fat lasagna comes from caponata, the tasty Italian eggplant appetizer. Most supermarkets carry it in the Italian specialties section.

 

 

6

 

lasagna noodles

 

2 teaspoons 

 

olive oil

 

1-1/4 cups 

 

part-skim ricotta cheese

 

1/2 cup 

 

plus 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

 

3/4 cup 

 

lowfat milk

 

2

 

large eggs, lightly beaten

 

1/4 teaspoon 

 

salt

 

1 10 oz package 

 

frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

 

2 7½ oz cans 

 

caponata

 

 

 

 

1

Preheat the oven to 400°. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, brush the bottom and sides of a 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan with the olive oil and set aside.

2

Combine the ricotta and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese with the milk, eggs, and salt in a medium-size bowl. Drain the noodles well, then lay 2 on the bottom of the pan, trimming off any overhang so that they fit exactly.

3

Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top of the noodles, followed by 1/2 of the spinach and 1/2 of the caponata. Add 2 more noodles, again trimming to fit, and repeat the cheese, spinach, and caponata layers. Top with the remaining 2 noodles, followed by the remaining cheese mixture.

4

Sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until set and lightly golden.
