Dr Oz: No Boil Mushroom Lasagna Recipe

Tired of having your family eat junk food for dinner just because it’s quick and easy? In this segment, Doctor Oz introduced celebrity chef and author, Rocco Dispirito to show you how to prepare his low cholesterol no boil mushroom lasagna.

Sherry, who won from the previous Family Feud game, helped Dr Oz and Rocco prepare the dish.  When she came onto the stage, Rocco gave her a kiss on the cheek. (Awww, how sweet. It doesn’t hurt that Rocco is a hottie too!)

Rocco Dispirito: Mushroom Lasagna Recipe

Ingredients:

4 sprays olive oil cooking spray

2 cups fat free ricotta

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

2 tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley

1 oz parmigiano reggiano, freshly grated

Salt and fresh ground black pepper

4 oz no-boil whole wheat pasta sheets

16 oz sliced mushrooms  (You can used canned mushrooms too. Save ½ C of mushroom liquid to use in the mixture for more flavor.)

1/2 cup mushroom juice

2 oz reduced fat shredded mozzarella

4 tsp potato starch (You can find this at any grocery store.)

Mix the ingredients together. Start by using a non-fat cooking spray inside a glass dish. Put in a layer of the noodles, then place a spoonful of the mixture onto the layer of noodles. Spread out the mixture. Do this for 6-8 layers. Top off with noodles. Sprinkle on some cheese and herbs and place it into the oven. Bake for 45 minutes. For a quick and easy tip, Rocco suggested wrapping the dish in plastic wrap and sticking in the microwave for 15 minutes.

When the finished product came out of the oven, Doctor Oz had the Family Feud winning Walker family from the previous segment on today’s show taste the dish. Each member stated it was excellent and gave it the thumbs up. This healthy lasagna has only half the calories and only 1/3 of the fat of regular lasagna, so eat up!.
