Mediterranean Inspired Recipe : Eggplant Lasagna with Holista Spaghetti

By:  Noelle, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

If you love Alfredo sauce, or your family members do, this recipe is an absolute must try. It is a great way to get more vegetables in to your diet, and reap the health benefits while satisfying the cravings for rich and creamy Fettucini Alfredo.

​

Swapping this sauce for traditional Alfredo will save you calories, saturated fat, sodium, and others while adding nutrients associated with heart health, cancer prevention and others. Also, the serving size of most Alfredo sauces is only ¼ cup, this recipe includes ½ cup serving size of sauce, so you can indulge in the creamy goodness without the guilt.

Ingredients ​

  • 16 oz Holista Spaghetti

  • 3 Eggplant, sliced

  • 1 package chopped, frozen spinach (defrosted)

  • 4 Eggs

  • 1 ½ cup Ricotta cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

  • ½ cup parmesan cheese

  • ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • ½ tbsp. dried oregano

  • ½ tbsp. garlic powder

  • ½ tbsp. black pepper

  • 25 oz low sodium Marinara

Directions 

  1. While the lasagna finishes cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place Holista Spaghetti in the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes.

Try it with a glass of Sicilian red like Nero d’Avola

I would like to leave you with a quote from one of my favorite nutrition experts to follow:

“You don’t have to eat pasta to be healthy, but you can.

And since you can, why wouldn’t you!”
