Brando's Lasagna

[omalani]

I don't know what I did wrong. My lasagne was very watery. Maybe I should have fried the zucchini first and drained it on a paper towel to get the water out?? Anyone have another idea?

Omalani when they made this on the 700 club is was pretty watery too. I think that roasting the zuchinni first might make it less so. Maybe I will try this when I get moved and let you know.

Much love to you my friend.

Blessed and Loved,

That is such a good idea LP. I will try it again sometime. I drained the water off in my soup because it had good flavor. I think roasting the zucchini on parchment paper would evaporate a lot of the liquid, and make the zucchini more flavorful. By the way I am a big fan of your KYSO soup.

I roasted my first batch of zuc's and burned them
I did not use the tomato soup, I just used canned fire roast tomatoes and drained them before putting into dish. I didn't have any cottage cheese, so I left it out. I did add more egg subsitute though.
Oh and I added mushrooms. FRESH..they obsorb like a sponge. I love it.
I layered everything and with each layer I used parmesan ramono
My version:
1/4 lb ground sirloin or lean beef..I used soy beef because I wanted to use it up. Next time I will use all turkey or/and the beef...
1/4 lb ground skinless turkey breast
1/2 c chopped onion
6 oz. can tomato paste
2 can's fire roasted canned tomatoes, drain well.
2 5.5 oz can picante tomato juice (v8)..I used a can of snappy Tom
2 Tbs parmesan cheese.I used parmesan ramono. I think it taste stronger.
1/2 c to 3/4 a cup egg substitute
2 Tbs finely chopped fresh parsley..I only had dried
2 tsp finely chopped fresh basil..I used Italian seasoning. It's what I had in the house.
1/2 tsp white pepper. I used good ole black pepper
5 medium zucchini, thinly sliced..after buring half of the batch and I didn't have anymore..boo ho..I sliced it thicker and of course left the skins on it.
pam olive oil spray
1 12 oz fat free grated mozzarella cheese. I mix with parmasan and then put layer of mozzarella on top.
and one in the middle.
It came out nice and thick and look really good, and tasted even better than it looked. My zuc was still
thick...
I will also try eggplant with this recipe.
