Serves about 4.
Prep time: about 25 minutes.
You will need:
A large Carrot
A handful of Broccoli florets
Peas
1 yellow onion
Whole leaf fresh spinach
Flour
Milk
Butter, or margarine
salt
Pepper
All in one all purpose seasoning
Garlic Powder or fresh garlic
Low Fat Mozzarella Cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Whole Wheat Pasta of your choosing (rotini, elbow, or lasagna noddles) I used about a cup and a half.
Step one:
1. Boil water for your noodles.
2.Cut up carrots and broccoli into little pieces. Add peas, ripped up spinach and any other vegetable you want. I filled a large cereal bowl with my cuttings.
3. Cut up onion, mince it
Step two:
Turn on the oven to 350 degrees
Start cooking your noodles.
In another pan....
Make your white sauce: I use this for lots of things. Like Chicken pot pie mixture, Creamed Spinach, and now my vegetable lasagna- it's great.
1. Heat up a spoonful of butter, and add in onion. Stir the onion around till it browns a little.
2. Add a handful of flour it will get all globby like thick glue.
3. Add about 1-2 cups of milk and stir around.
You will notice it start to bubble- you want it to be the consistency of salad dressing. Add milk or flour till you get the desired consistency.
Throw in the cereal bowl of veggies.
Put it on low heat and stir till it makes a yogurt like stew.
Add in salt, pepper, garlic and seasoning till it tastes really good.
Step Three:
Drain your noodles
Get a casserole dish or something to bake in.
Add a light layer of noodles
Spread your vegetable white sauce evenly over the noodles.
* Some people would add Rocotta cheese here- but I opted out because I didn't have it)
Sprinkle a little mozzarella cheese
Add a light layer of noodles
Add a light layer of mozzarella and sprinkle with parm cheese and garlic.
Cook for about 15- 20 minutes till cheese is firm and crusty.
I added a Spinach salad as a side dish with Avocado, tomatoes, and a squirt of lime juice... you can add a teaspoon of fat free dressing, or stir the avocado till it makes a nice dressing all over.
