As some of you may know I started WW the end of March (after our brisket filled ten day extravaganza in Dallas and Austin) Not because I think I am huge, but I know its easier to loose weight when you are younger instead of putting it off. Id like to loose 20 lbs and have already lost 7.8. Boo ya. I really enjoy just being healthier and more fit. I have been trying a lot of new recipes that are healthier and this is one of our favorites.
Check it out.
1 lb ground chicken
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, crushed
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups lowfat mozzarella cheese,
6 lasagna noodles
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
box frozen chopped spinach thawed, drained, etc.
In a large skillet over medium high heat cook onion and garlic.
Then add in ground chicken and cook together.
Stir in tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, spices, Meanwhile in a small bowl combine ricotta, and 1 cup of the mozzarella. You can add spinach to cheese mix or sauce mix.
Spoon 1/3 of the tomato/beef mixture into crock pot. Break 3 lasagna noodles in half and arrange on top of tomato/beef mixture and top with half of the ricotta mixture. Repeat with second layer. Finish with the remaining 1/3 of the meat mixture.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours
In a small bowl combine remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over meat mixture and set aside for 10 minutes or until cheese melts and lasagna is firm (10 minutes or so).
ENJOY!!!
