Cooking Instructions

50 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F

  2. 2

    In a saucepan heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes stirring constantly. Add the garlic and continue to whisk until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the soy milk and stock all at once. Cook and stir until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the green onions and sundried tomatoes. Set the sauce aside.

  3. 3

    In a large non stick frying pan, heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and shallot and saute until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and salt. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.

  4. 4

    In the same pan heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the spinach and stir quickly until the spinach is wilted but still bright green. Remove from the heat. Let cool slightly.

  5. 5

    In a large bowl beat together the ricotta, 1/2 cup of parmesan, and the egg white. Stir in the spinach and set aside.

  6. 6

    Lightly coat a 9 by 13 baking dish with cooking spray. Spread half cup of the sauce in the dish and cover with 3 sheets of the pasta. Spoon half of the spinach mixture onto the pasta and spread gently. Cover with 3 more pasta sheets. Top with another 1/2 cup of sauce. Spread the mushroom mixture on top and cover with another 1/2 cup of sauce, then another layer of pasta. Spoon in the remaining spinach filling and top with the last 3 pasta sheets. Add the remaining sauce and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until golden, about 10 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with the basil.

Wife Amanda, husband Clinton.My wife Amanda gets different recipes from all over and then converts them to a more heart healthy/reduced fat/healthier version of different meals.Now my wife most of the time comes up with some very interesting, VERY tasty and much healthier versions of things.We were looking for an app to store all of the different meals she makes and the different versions so she can make it some other time and have the results be the same.That is how and why we came to this app. We, mostly me, will go through some of the wonderful recipes on here and she will attempt to healthify (yes I made that word up) it and we will have a wonderful dinner.Us personally, we are in the process of attempting to change our lifestyle to be better examples for our two young children and for me to be around some day to give my daughters hand away in marriage.We have been working on it since March 2013 and have gone down a LARGE amount, we are extremely proud of each other, and our families are of course behind us.Therefore, if you have any healthy and tasty recipes please feel free to send them our way.
