Pastaless Pasta Bake

This is now my all time favorite recipe! I am making it tonight again with grilled eggplant slice

2 eggs
1/2 onion chopped
1/2 greep pepper chopped
Morning Star Farms crumblers
spaghetti sauce
low fat mixed cheese
sliced eggplant (optional)
low fat provolone slices
low fat sprinkle or shaved parmesan cheese


Spray a baking dish with PAM, split 2 eggs open and mix with a fork, then layer the bottom of the pan with the eggs. Layer green chopped peppers on top of wet eggs. Cook Morning Star Farms crumblers according to package (I sautee them on the stove until done). Layer mixure on top of eggs and peppers. If you use the eggplant, slice lengthwise and sautee on stove then layer on top of crumbles. Grill onions and place on top of crumblers or eggplant if used. Cover with your choice of spaghetti sauce. I use Ragu traditonal. Sprinkle with mixed cheese and cover the top with provolone slices. Sprinkle on parmesan cheese. Dash any type of italian dried seasoning on top. I use dried basil, oregano, cracked fresh pepper and a sprinkle of Mrs Dash.

Bake at 400 for 30 mins or until cheese is melted and ligtly browned. Let sit and cool. This is so delicious, and makes for excellent leftovers. Even better the next day!

No Pasta Lasagna

This is one of my favorite recipes~!

8 oz of low fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup grated reduced fat Parmesan cheese
1 large Egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 cup Marinara or any low sodium Spaghetti Sauce
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 sliced eggplant lengthwise (optional)
1 cup morning star farms crumblers (cooked)-optional, found in frozen food section
fresh basil leaves chopped and sprinkled on top


Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, onion, pepper, and seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. If using eggplant, layer the thin slices on top of the mixture covering the dish. Pour marinara/spaghetti sauce on top and top with low fat mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle chopped basil on top. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes.

This dish is very easy for a comfort meal without the carbs. You can add any veggies of your choice on top of the egg mixture such as artichokes, eggplant, olives, etc. Pack it full of vitamin filling veggies and you can even add Morning Star Farm crumblers, which is a textured vegetarian protein.
