Layer
1/4 Sauce- 1 28oz can diced tomatoes, 1 8oz can tomatoe sauce, about 2 cp cooked navy, canillini, and/or white kidney beans, 1 Tbsp beef or ham base disolved in 1/2 c boiling water, seasonings to taste (basil, garlic, thyme, oregano, salt & pepper) *Note-you can use flavored tomatoes and sauce-just make sure they are a garlic, oregano, basil-ish type flavor*
Uncooked Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles (about 3)
1/2 Cheese Mixture- 1 large container cottage or ricotta cheese, 1.5 c shredded white cheese (I like Monteray Jack), 1 egg, frozen spinach or other vegetable, parsley
1/4 Sauce
Noodles
1/2 Cheese Mixture
1/4 Sauce
Noodles
1/4 Sauce
1/2 c aforely mentioned shredded cheese & 1/4 c parmesan
Cook on high for a few hours until noodles are done.
You can also use your own lasagna recipe with the following changes-
whole wheat noodles (to make the bean a complete protein)
substitute navy beans for hamburger lb for lb (1.5 c cooked beans = 1 lb) and mix in with sauce
add spinach or like vegetable to the cheese mixture
to maintain a hearty, meaty flavor, add ham or beef base to the sauce mixture

I tried this tonight and I LOVED it!!! To me, it tasted like good-old fashioned lasagna! But I'm used to having spinach in lasagna. Jessica isn't wild about spinach but to her credit... she ate it!!!
We served it up with bread on the side brushed with olive oil, garlic, and spices broiled in the oven.
