CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Coarsely grate the cauliflower and broccoli, including the stems. This can be done with a typical box grater, but I like to use a mandolin.
• Heat a frying pan on medium. Add the olive oil, grated vegetables, and garlic. Saute the vegetables until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes.
• Remove from heat and allow the vegetable mixture to cool for 15 minutes while you prepare, lasagna noodles and tomato sauce. Feel free to use your favorite store-bought tomato sauce. However, it's pretty quick and easy to make your own. See the instructions below.
• When the cauliflower and broccoli have cooled, mix in the ricotta cheese. Add salt, to taste. Then stir in the egg.
• To put together the lasagna, place a small amount of sauce on the bottom of the pan followed by a layer of noodles. Add another thin layer of sauce, topped by 1/2 the broccoli filling, then noodles. Repeat the layers a second time (tomato sauce, broccoli, and noodles), topping the final layer of noodles with a bit more sauce and all of the mozzarella.
• Cover the lasagna with tin foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the tinfoil, then bake, uncovered for another 25 minutes until the cheese is browning and the sauce is bubbling.
• Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

ALFREDO LASAGNA WITH BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sauce ingredients except the Parmesan. Cook over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly (it will still be somewhat thin), stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the Parmesan. Remove from the heat. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, egg substitute, oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder. Set aside.
• If using fresh cauliflower and broccoli, in a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium high and cook the cauliflower for 2 minutes. Stir in the broccoli. Cook for 1 minute. Transfer to a colander. Drain well.
• Layer as follows in the casserole dish: half the sauce, 4 noodle halves, all the ricotta mixture, and the cauliflower and broccoli. Sprinkle with the roasted pepper and 1/2 cup mozzarella. Top with the remaining noodle halves, remaining sauce, and remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Cover the dish and place on a baking sheet in case the lasagna bubbles over.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients. When the lasagna has baked for 30 minutes, sprinkle with the topping. Bake, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the topping is toasted and the noodles are tender. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to make cutting easier.
