As a busy housewife, I'm always looking for ways to make hearty and comforting meals for my family without spending hours in the kitchen. This Black Bean Lasagna is a lifesaver! It's packed with flavor, easy to prepare, and a great way to use up any leftover beans I have in the fridge.
The best part about this recipe is that it's so versatile. I often add in whatever vegetables I have on hand, like chopped spinach or zucchini. And if I'm feeling extra indulgent, I'll top it off with a creamy béchamel sauce. My family loves this lasagna so much that they request it at least once a week. It's the perfect meal for a busy weeknight or a cozy weekend dinner.
Step-by-step
- In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the lasagna noodles 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
- In a bowl, blend the ricotta cheese and egg, and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spray a large skillet with cooking spray, and saute the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic until tender. Mash 1 can of black beans. Stir mashed black beans, whole black beans, and tomato sauce into skillet, and cook until heated through.
- Arrange 3 lasagna noodles in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, and layer with 1/3 each of the ricotta mixture, black bean mixture, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat twice.
- Bake 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
