Ingredients
  

  • 1 28- oz can of diced tomatoes
  • 10 lasagna pasta pieces
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine
  • 1/4 red onion minced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 large zucchini ends removed and cut lengthwise into thin strips (I used 1 green and 1 yellow)
  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 cup fontina cheese shredded
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 TSP dried oregano
  • 1/2 TSP dried basil
  • 1/2 TSP salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Boil a large pot of water and cook lasagna noodles until tender. Drain, and lay out on baking sheets coated with cooking spray to cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1/2 TBSP olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add onion and saute until lightly browned.
  • Add the red wine and bring to a simmer. Cook wine for about 5 minutes, or until mixture is reduced by half.
  • Add diced tomatoes, oregano, basil and salt. Bring to a simmer again, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes.
  • In another large saucepan, heat the rest of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the zucchini strips and cook until softened.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta with the shredded fontina cheese and 1/2 cup of the shredded mozzarella. Mix together well.
  • Coat an 8x11 baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Layer the pan as follows: 5 sheets of lasagna noodles, 1/2 of the tomato/wine mixture, 1/2 of the shredded carrots, 1/2 of the ricotta/cheese mixture, 1/2 of the sauteed zucchini, the diced red bell pepper, the rest of the ricotta mixture, the remaining 5 lasagna noodles, the rest of the tomato mixture, the remaining carrots, the other 1/2 of zucchini slices, and the rest of the mozzarella cheese (1 cup).
  • Cover the lasagna with tin foil, and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil, and bake again until lightly browned with bubbly cheese, 30-40 more minutes.
  • Cool for a few minutes, then cut into 6 slices and enjoy.
