Black Bean Lasagne
Ingredients
1 x 28 ounce jar tomato pasta sauce
½ cup water
2 cans (15 ounce) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 ¾ cups low fat ricotta cheese
1 egg
12 uncooked lasagne noodles
2 ½ cups shredded skim mozzarella cheese
Method
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Over low heat, simmer tomato sauce, water, and black beans. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese and egg. Set aside. Using a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, place 1 cup of the bean/sauce mixture on the bottom of the dish. Place 3 pieces of uncooked lasagne noodles on top of the sauce.
Next, spread about ⅔ cup of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with 1 cup of the bean/sauce mixture, lastly about ½ cup of the mozzarella. Repeat two layers of noodles, ricotta, bean/sauce, and mozzarella. Then place on the remaining 3 lasagne noodles and pour the remaining bean/sauce mixture over all.
Top with remaining mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake at 375ºF for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
