     This was one I was super excited about!  Who says you can’t have it all!?  My No Noodle Lasagna is the perfect example of how clean food is good food.  I can’t wait to share how easy it is to make your own sauce, you will never buy store bought again.  Each of these 6 hearty servings are only 337 calories, 27g carbs, 6g fiber, 21g net carbs, THIRTY FIVE grams of PROTEIN, and 11g fat.  (You saw that protein too, right!?). This is perfect to feed the family, or to save and have for lunches all week long.  PS. No one will notice the missing noodles. 😉

Ingredients for 6 hearty servings~
2 pounds chopped Tomatoes, I usually cut mine in about 8 pieces
1 pound cleaned and trimmed diced Carrots, I usually cut mine in about 6 pieces
1 diced Onion, I cut mine in large chunks
1 or 2 cleaned seeded chopped Jalapeños, optional 
1 Tablespoon chopped Garlic
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Dash Salt
Fresh Basil Leaves, amount desired

     From first set of ingredients, add everything but Basil Leaves to parchment lined cookie sheet, and toss til well coated with Olive Oil, bake at 400 for one hour, remove and cool slightly, add to heavy duty blender along with Basil Leaves, blend til smooth.  Store in fridge over night allowing the flavors to merry.  Meanwhile, add Beef, Onion, Garlic and Cayenne to skillet til cooked thru and Onion are soft, then add in Mushroom til cooked, and finish by add in Peppers til crisp tender, drain any excess juice.  Lastly stir together Cottage Cheese and Nutritional Yeast.  When ready to bake, add a cup of Sauce to parchment lined 8X11, then add half the Beef mixture, followed by half the Cottage Cheese mixture, repeat those layers and finish with remaining Sauce, bake at 400 for 45 minutes.  Garnish with Green Onions if desired.  Enjoy 😋
