Lentil Lasagna Recipe - Cooking Index
| 2 teaspoons | 10ml | Olive oil |
| 1 | Onion - chopped | |
| 3 | Garlic cloves - minced | |
| 1 | No-salt-added diced tomatoes - (14 1/2 oz) | |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Lentils - rinsed and drained |
| 1 | No-salt-added tomato paste - (6 oz) | |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Ground cumin |
| 1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Freshly-ground black pepper |
| 1/8 teaspoon | 0.6ml | Cayenne pepper |
| 5 | Cooked lasagna noodles - (to 6) | |
| 1 cup | 146g / 5.1oz | Nonfat ricotta cheese |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Grated Parmesan cheese |
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, lentils, tomato paste, cumin, black pepper, cayenne and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
Cut the noodles in half crosswise. In the pan, spread one-quarter of the lentil mixture; top with one-third of the noodles and one-third of the ricotta cheese. Repeat the layering 2 more times, ending with the lentil mixture. Sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan cheese.
Bake, covered, 25 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese is golden and the lasagna is bubbling around the edges, about 10 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
