Lunch time and dinners can sometimes be a bit busy for me, especially when it's just my youngest and myself. Something quick and easy always tends to take the advantage, so having something that I can throw in when I don't feel like it cooking is just downright helpful and amazing. That's where these little guys come in handy! They are delicious and provide that warm, comfort food that I occasionally crave. The below is for individual freezer prep, but you can combine them to make it serve 2 or more!

Freezer Prep Lasagna

Serves 12 | Serving Size 1 Lasagna

Ingredients

• 12 small loaf pans

• 18 Dreamfields Lasagna Noodles or Tinkyada Brown Rice Lasagna Noodles (see note)

• 12-oz can tomato paste

• 29-oz can tomato sauce

• 3 tsp garlic, minced

• 1/2 white onion, finely diced

• 2 tsp oregano

• 1/4 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1 container 2% Daisy cottage cheese

• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese

• 4 eggs, whites only

• 2 tbsp parsley

• 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

• coconut oil spray

Instructions

Prepare small loaf pans with coconut oil spray.

Cook noodles according to directions, allow to cool, and cut in half hamburger style. Set aside

For Sauce:

1. Whisk tomato paste and tomato paste in a medium saucepan until well combined.

2. Add garlic, onion, oregano, salt, and pepper to saucepan.

3. Heat over medium heat until warm. Set aside.

For Cheese Layer:

Combine cottage cheese, parmesan, egg whites, and parsley until well combined.

Prepare Lasagnas:

1. Place some sauce in the bottom of each of the 12 pans enough to layer the bottom.

2. Add a noodle-half on top.

3. Add some cottage cheese layer.

4. Add more sauce.

5. Repeat three times, ending with sauce layer.

6. Top with 1/4 cup mozzarella.

To Freeze:

1. Cover loaf pans with plastic wrap.

2. Cover with foil.

3. Freeze for up to 3 months.

To Cook:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Remove plastic wrap.

3. Bake covered for 45 minutes.

4. Remove aluminum foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until completely cooked through.

Important Note: Do not use Dreamfields unless cooking right away for one evening meal. Trim Healthy Mama does not recommend eating them repeatedly over a week, or month, as they have no actual carb fuels in them. If you are freezer prepping, use brown rice lasagna noodles instead.
