BAKED SOUR CREAM NOODLES (LOW-FAT)



Baked Sour Cream Noodles (Low-Fat) image

A creamy, cheesy, treasure of a find from the American Heart Association's cookbook. Traditionally we would think of this as a side dish, but at 396 calories per serving I wanted to make sure this recipe would fill us up without having to add large servings of meat or bread. It did! We like it served with 1/2 of a small grilled/broiled chicken breast and steamed veggies, but shrimp would also be a nice accompaniment. I am in constant search of low-fat, heart healthy recipes that actually fill us up. So often we find recipes listed as "low-fat" or "heart healthy" and the serving size is so small a person walks away from the table hungry or we are deceived by the words "low-fat" and eat 4x what the recommended portion size is defeating the original intent. This filling dish generously serves 4. We also like a tsp or so of onion powder added to the cheese mixture. If you are not on a sodium restricted diet, feel free to add salt to taste. The recipezaar database doesn't seem to recognize the yolk free egg noodles or low sodium worcestershire sauce so I will list the Nutrition Values as stated by the AHA.

THE VEGETARIAN LASAGNA THAT FOOLED MY FATHER



The Vegetarian Lasagna That Fooled My Father image

With zucchini noodles & soy crumbles, this lasagna sounds awful, but after a full helping my father, who is anti anything low-fat, low-carb or "fake meat", delclared this lasagna DELICIOUS! Preparation is a little time consuming, so I freeze it in mini loaf pans so that we can get 5 or 6 dinners out of one preparation. My husband also loves it and requests it! We split one of the loaf pans and pair it with a salad or a little soup.

Categories     Weeknight

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 mini loaf pans, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 -4 zucchini, sliced very thin lengthwise, I use a mandolin to get them even
16 ounces low-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, I prefer Ragu Super chunky mushroom
1 lb mushroom, chopped
12 ounces ground meat substitute
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups low fat mozzarella
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • You'll need a large glass baking dish or 5 to 6 miniature loaf pans to make this dish.
  • Blanch zucchini in boiling water for 1- 1.5 minutes.
  • Drain zucchini and place between tea towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Otherwise your lasagna will be watery.
  • Sautee chopped mushrooms in olive oil, seasoning with salt & pepper.
  • Add soy crumbles to mushroom mixture and sautee 1-2 minutes, then add spaghetti sauce.
  • In a separate bowl, mix ricotta, cottage cheese, parmesan, garlic powder & salt & pepepr to taste.
  • Begin by layering the bottom of your loaf pan(s) with strips of zucchini, then a layer of the cheese mixture, and finally a layer of sauce,a nd repeat. This should just about fill your pans.
  • Cover with a layer of mozzarella.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and/or foil and freeze, or bake at 400 for 30 minute.
  • If taking out of the freezer, thaw in the fridge for a day and pop in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes.
