Preparation facts

Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

2 cups carrots, shredded

2 cups yellow squash, shredded

2 cups zucchini, shredded

2 cups Stonyfield Farm plain yogurt cheese (made from 1 quart Stonyfield Farm organic lowfat yogurt)

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp basil

1/2 tsp thyme

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 eggs

2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded

12 lasagna noodles, cooked

32 oz jar roasted garlic and peppers pasta sauce

Directions

Using a yogurt cheese maker or layered cheese cloth, strain the whey from 1 quart of yogurt overnight and set aside the yogurt cheese remaining in the cheese cloth. Preheat oven to 375°F. Using a large mixing bowl, fold the vegetables, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, herbs, salt, pepper and eggs into the yogurt cheese. In a 9"x13" pan place a couple of tablespoons of sauce on bottom, spreading evenly.

Place a layer of noodles in the pan, top with half of the vegetable filling, then half of the sauce. Repeat for the second layer. Finish with the remaining noodles and cheese. Bake covered with foil for 1 hour. Remove foil for the last 10 minutes for cheese to brown.

Serve warm.
