Whole wheat lasagna noodles (uncooked)
1/4 lb chicken breast, chopped into little pieces (the size you'd use for Thai Chicken Soup)
2 T pesto
1-2 squeezes of chili pepper paste (to taste)
1/2 cup Romano (or Parmesan), finely shredded
1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Cook chicken with chili paste, when chicken is cooked through, stir in pesto. Set aside.
Stir together spinach and cottage cheese. Set aside.
In a meatloaf pan, spray non-stick spray. Layer one of the noodles, spread on chicken and pesto, sprinkle Romano cheese on top. Layer 1 or 2 more noodles, to cover chicken, spread on spinach mixture. Layer 1 or 2 more noodles, to cover, then sprinkle on mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 375 for 35-45 min. (I could be making that temperature up...so check it often) until the cheese is browned on the edges and noodles are al dente.

Jill,
ReplyDeleteIs the pesto a basil pesto ?
Bon
Yes, it is a traditional basil pesto. We buy a jar of it from the grocery store and keep it in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I wasn't aware that there is more than one kind of pesto! lol.
