I just received a new book to review. I’ve been ill, along with the children, so it has been a rough time trying to get it reviewed! The book is actually a cookbook with some really tasty recipes. The press release had an interesting recipe in it, but I thought I would share the one I tried last night. It was really great and such a refreshing change of pace from the sandwiches and other quick to make foods of the past week. <\/p>\n
The book is The Healthy Carb Diabetes Cookbook by Chef Jennifer Bucko, MCFE and Lara Rondinelli RD, LDN. If you or someone you love is a dibetic, this is a great cookbook to have on hand. Laid out in an easy to read manner, recipes placed in sections according to meals; breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts. <\/p>\n
Here is the recipe I tried. It is really good, plus you can tailor it to your tastes by adding in big chunks of fresh vegetables.<\/p>\n
*Cooking Spray
\n*12 Strips whole wheat lasagna noodles
\n*1 lb turkey italian sausage
\n*1 large (2lb 13oz) jar pasta sauce
\n*1 \u00bd cups reduced fat, shredded mozzerella cheese, divided
\n*15 oz fat free ricotta cheese
\n*\u00bc cup grated Parmesean cheese
\n*1 egg, slightly beaten
\n*\u00bc cup fresh parsley, chopped<\/p>\n
1. Pre heat the oven to 350 F. Spray a13x9x2 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. <\/p>\n
2. Cook noodles according to package directions, omitting salt.<\/p>\n
3. Cut ends of turkey sausage and squeeze the sausage meat out of the casings. Discard casings.<\/p>\n
4. In a large saucepan, cook turkey sausage over medium-high heat until brown. Drain fat, lower heat to medium and add pasta sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, set aside to cool.<\/p>\n
5. In a medium bowl, mix together \u00bd cup mozzarella (reserve one cup mozzerella), ricotta cheese, Parmesean cheese, egg, and parsley.<\/p>\n
6. Spread 1 cup pasta sauce and sausage on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange noodles side by side on top of the sauce. Spread 1\/3 of the cheese mixture on top of the noodles.<\/p>\n
7. Repeat layering with pasta sauce, noodles, and cheese mixtures two more times. <\/p>\n
8. Top with the remaining 3 noodles and 1 cup of sauce. Cover lasagna with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover; top with remaining mozzarella cheese and bake an additional 25 minutes or until cheese is lightly golden brown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
