Here is how you make Lightened Up Lasagna:

1. In a large saucepan brown beef, drain and return to pan. Add onions, cook for 2 minutes. Add shredded carrots and zucchini, cook until vegetables are crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in marinara sauce, undrained tomatoes, garlic, basil, and oregano. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for about 15 minutes. 2. Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C) 3. When sauce is almost finished, slice zucchini in 4-6 long slices. In a bowl combine ricotta cheese, egg whites and parsely. 4. Put a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of 9x13 pan, just enough to coat. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of sauce, top with a layer of cheese mixture, then another layer of sauce. Continue layering, replacing one noodle layers with sliced zucchini. Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Cover lightly with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is browned . **There should be 2-3 noodle layers and 1 zucchini layer, or substitute additional zucchini layers for noodles if you want, either way it is great! If not using as many noodles or any at all, drain some of the juice from the tomatoes so it will not be too watery. The nutritional information is based on 1 zucchini layer and 3 noodle layers.Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user HEALTHYBY2010.
