Spinach Shrimp Lasagna

You can customize this recipe to your tastes. If you don't like shrimp you can substitute 1lb of any meat product. You can also use different veggies if you don't like spinach. I like to use the no-boil lasagna noodles because I'm lazy ;] You can use regular noodles if you like, but remember you need to boil them first. Also I use cottage cheese in the recipe to help dilute all the Ricotta cheese which is really heavy and dense, you can use all ricotta or all cottage cheese if you like. Just adjust the amount you're using.Also I found that I could have used more sauce, so if you like a lot of sauce you may want to use 1.5-2 jars of spaghetti sauce instead of the one jar I used.

Ingredients:
1 box (9 oz.) Lasagna Noodles (I used the no-boil Barilla brand)
2 Eggs
1/2C Grated Parmesan Cheese
4C Shredded Mozzarella
10 oz Ricotta Cheese
10 oz Fat free Cottage Cheese
1-10 oz package frozen chopped Spinach
1 Jar Spaghetti Sauce (I used Classico Fire Roasted Tomato & Garlic 24oz)
1lb Shrimp, thawed

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375° F. Spray 13 x 9" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Thaw frozen spinach in microwave. In large bowl beat eggs. Stir in ricotta, cottage cheese, 2C mozzarella and the parmesan. After cheese/egg mixture is blended add the spinach after squeezing all excess water from it.

To Assemble:
When layering lasagna noodles, slightly overlap the sheets. The lasagna will expand to the edges during cooking. Spread fillings to edges to seal in and cook the lasagna during baking.

1. Spread 1C of sauce on bottom of baking pan.
2. Layer 4 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of cheese mixture, half of shrimp, 1C mozzarella, and 1C sauce.
3. Layer 4 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of cheese mixture, and 1C sauce.
4. Layer 4 lasagna noodles, the remaining cheese mixture and shrimp, and 1C sauce.
5. Layer 4 lasagna noodles, the remaining sauce, and remaining 1C of mozzarella.


To Cook:
Cover with foil and bake until bubbly, 50-60 minutes. Make sure that the noodles have cooked fully if you are using no-boil noodles. Remove foil and cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.

Enjoy! We did! :]
