DIRECTIONS
- Cook covered about 4 minutes until onion is tender:
- 2 medium carrots - bias sliced (3/4 cup)
- 3 tbsp. chopped onion
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 2 T. Cooking Oil
- Add and simmer ~15 min. or until carrots are tender:
- 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce
- 2 tbsp. water
- 1 tsp. oregano
- Add and cook uncovered ~5 minutes until zucchini is tender:
- 3/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup sliced zucchini
- In separate container, mix:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
- You will also need:
- 5 oz. frozen spinach - thawed, drained and squeezed out
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- Grease 8x4x2 loaf pan. Layer with half of the noodles, spinach, cottage cheese, spaghetti mixture and mozzarella. Repeat with second layer of same, without mozzarella. (unless you decide to add more cheese for the fun of it). I like to top with noodles and plain spaghetti sauce, but the recipe does not call for it.
- Bake covered at 375 degrees for about 35 minutes. Uncover and top with remaining cheese and sprinkle ripe olives if desired. Bake 2-3 minutes more.
