Low Carb Baked Lasagna Spaghetti Recipe

 Delicious dish that is low carb and low fat!

(Makes 4-6 servings – I used an 8x8 pan)

Ingredients:

•     4-8oz Packages of the Shirataki spaghetti noodles
•     Olive oil spray (or any other non-stick spray)
•     1 jar low sugar spaghetti or pasta sauce (Safeway makes one labeled “Select”)
•     Garlic salt
•      8 oz container of fat-free cottage cheese
•     Basil or Italian seasoning
•     Parmesan cheese
•     Reduced fat or non-fat mozzarella shredded cheese
•      Reduced fat or non-fat sharp cheddar cheese



Directions:

1.     Prepare noodles according to package directions. I add a bit of garlic salt to the water when par boiling. Rinse and drain.
2.     Spray bottom of pan with non-stick cooking spray.
3.     Put ¼ cup of spaghetti or pizza sauce in bottom of pan and spread heavenly.
4.     Layer ½ of the noodles and spread evenly on top of the layer of sauce.
5.     Sprinkle noodles with just a touch of garlic salt.
6.      Add ½ cup of sauce over the noodles.
7.     In a bowl mix:      
• 8 oz cottage cheese,    
• ½ tsp garlic salt      
• 1 tsp basil or Italian seasoning ( I use basil only)
8.     Spread cottage cheese mixture over noodles evenly.
9.     Sprinkle with dry, grated Parmesan cheese.
10.      Add ½ cup of spaghetti/pizza sauce and spread evenly over noodles.
11.     Top with reduced-fat or non-fat mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese (optional).
12.     Sprinkle a pinch or two of basil evenly over top.
13.     Sprinkle dry Parmesan cheese to finish this recipe off.

Bake in oven at 350 for 20-30 minutes. The longer you cook it, the more the noodles absorb the flavors.

You may also want to broil this for a short period of time to brown the cheese on top. Just make sure to watch it, because it gets brown fast. Enjoy!
