Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 9" x 5" loaf pan

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz hearts of palm lasagna sheets
  • 1⅓ cup shredded part skim mozzarella
  • ½ cup marinara sauce look for no sugar added sauces. See blog post for some of my favorite sauces.
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmasan cheese

Lasagna Filling

  • 1 cup marinara sauce look for no sugar added sauces. See blog post for some of my favorite sauces.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lbs lean ground beef ground turkey or chicken will also work great
  • ¾ cup low fat cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  • Heat the large skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil followed by the ground beef. Brown the ground beef.
  • Once the meat is brown, stir in the Italian seasoning, 1 cup marinara sauce, and the cottage cheese. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat. Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure even heating. Simmer until most of the water has reduced out of the mixture.
  • Drain, rinse, and dry the hearts of palm lasagna sheets.
  • Spoon just enough of the lasagna filling mixture to cover the bottom of the loaf pan followed by the first layer of hearts of palm lasagna sheets. I use 5/layer. Divide the remaining filling into thirds. Evenly spread ⅓ of the lasagna filling over the top of the noodles. Lightly sprinkle with about 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat for two more layers, ending in a final layer of lasagna sheets.
  • Evenly spread the remaining ½ cup of marinara sauce, followed by the leftover shredded cheese and sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown. Allow to rest for 10-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
