Low Fat Spinach Lasagne
Ingredients

2 cups cottage cheese, 1% Milkfat (not packed)
1 large egg, or equiv egg substitute
2 cups mozzarella cheese, part skim milk
1 jar spaghetti/marinara sauce (tomato sauce)
1 pkg spinach, frozen (10 oz)
9 lasagna noodles
1 cup water
1/8 tsp black pepper
3/4 tsp oregano, ground

Directions
Preparation: In a large bowl mix thawed and drained spinach, cottage cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, egg and seasonings.
Spray cooking spray on a lasagna tray or 13x9x2 baking dish. Layer 1/2 cup sauce, 3 noodles and 1/2 cheese mixture. Repeat layer.
Top with remaining noodles then sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella.
You can also sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top. Pour water around the edges and put a few toothpicks on top. This will prevent the cheese from sticking to the foil.
Cover with foil and bake at 350* for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until lasagna is bubbly.
Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Answer 5

saute it with some garlic, olive oil and mushrooms and serve as a side dish, or mix in pasta.
I find that raw spinach only tastes great if its really fresh, so whether its about to expire or not, once its been in the fridge a few days, it's best cooked. It will last a few days longer after you have cooked it as well if you have leftovers.

Answer 6

Is it fresh? Make a light, summery spinach salad.
Is it frozen? Make a spinach quiche.

Answer 10

fry with garlic as a side dish

make a salad,mix the raw spinach in with the other ingredients

Answer 11

The date refers to when it has to leave the store or peak of freshness.

If it is fresh you probably have a few more days before it starts to get mushy and black spots.

If it's frozen, then you have several more months before it gets too much freezer burn, and makes it taste different. BUT, it is still eatable.
