Click on the pictures to see them bigger and closer.

Ingredients
· 1 box of whole grain or whole wheat Lasagna pasta
· Broccoli chopped up into tiny pieces
· 2 cup of chopped leek into very small pieces
· 1 bottle of heart healthy sauce
· Spinach
· Low fat parmesan cheese ( as much as you want but keep in mind that cheese has a lot of fat)
· Basil
· Oregano
· Vegetarian ground meat alternative (or ground meat).
· Olive oil
· Eggplant


Make your ingredients ready and available so that this process goes quickly and smoothly.

Instructions:
1. Boil your pasta.
2. Chop up all your vegetables and Take the skin off of your eggplant and then slice the eggplant into thin slices.
3. Fry your eggplant in pure olive oil until it is a brownish color.
4. Dab the oil out of your eggplant with napkins or paper towels. Eggplant soaks up a lot of oil, so you will need to repeat this as you see fit. Keep in mind that oil=fat so the less oil the less fat is in your lasagna.
5. Put your meat and sauce in the same pot and begin to cook it. Put your oregano and basil spices into you sauce. The spices will give it more flavor and contain many healthy vitamins.
6. Put your leek into your sauce. If it is real beef it will take a little longer but if it is fake veggie meat then it should be done in about 5-10 minutes.
7. Pour a little tiny bit of olive oil on your baking dish and rub it all over. This will make it easier when you serve it later. By now your noodles should be done.
8. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
9. Begin to layer your pan with your ingredients. Start with noodles, then spinach then eggplant, then sauce, and little bit of cheese or however you would prefer.
10. On your top and last layer put a player of cheese and broccoli
11. Place your pan in the oven for 25-30mintues.
