🍆 Fit Eggplant and Cottage Cheese Lasagna
Enjoy the pleasure of lasagna while eliminating refined flours. We replace pasta with roasted eggplant sheets, drastically reducing calories while increasing prebiotic fiber. Cottage cheese provides creaminess without the fats of industrial cheeses.
🧀 Why is this a Smart Option?
- Low in Carbs: Ideal for light dinners or keto diets.
- Rich in Lycopene: Cooked tomato sauce is a potent cellular protector.
- Filling: The high fiber and protein content prevents nighttime hunger.
📝 Preparation Details
- Slicing: Cut eggplants lengthwise into half-inch slices. Pass them through a griddle until tender.
- Creamy Filling: Mix cottage cheese with egg (which acts as a binder), chopped spinach, and a touch of nutmeg.
- Layering Assembly: In a baking dish, alternate tomato base, eggplant, and cheese cream. Repeat until ingredients are used.
- Healthy Gratin: Cover with a thin layer of grated parmesan.
- Baking: Cook at 400°F for 20 minutes until the surface is golden.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving so the layers settle and the lasagna doesn't fall apart.
