Serves: 8 | Prep time: 25 minutes | Cook time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
Sauce Mixture:
- 700ml pasta sauce
- 1 medium courgette, thinly sliced
- 1 large bunch kale, chopped
- 225g white button mushrooms, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. salt

- 120g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 20g Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
- Lasagna pasta
Instructions:
- Soak lasagna pasta in hot water while you prep the rest of the ingredients. Set the oven to 190° C, and heat olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté 5-7 minutes.
- Add mushrooms, courgette, kale, salt, and black pepper, and cook until the kale wilts.
- Stir in pasta sauce, bring to a boil, and remove from heat. In a medium bowl, mix egg, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and a little bit of mozzarella cheese.
- Drain pasta and place evenly in the dish. Cover with the cheese mixture, sauce mixture, and half the remaining mozzarella cheese — in that order.
- Add another layer of pasta, and repeat the step above. Cook covered in the oven for 30 minutes. Then uncover and cook for 15 minutes longer.
