Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Pasta Bake

Okay, here's the recipe I started from.
http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/recipe/spinach-and-ricotta-stuffed-shells/

I found that this made about 6 servings instead of 4.
Half a bag of big round noodles
1/4 of a medium onion chopped into small squares (see the post from 9/10/13)
1/2 of a zucchini
3 pieces of salami
A few chopped up mushrooms
1 can of tomato sauce and 1 can of tomato paste
3/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Smart balance cooking spray
2 cups of finely chopped spinach
A few sprigs of basil
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (I used veggie cheese)
1 egg white

Pre-heat your oven to 375 deg F

 I put all of the chopped vegetables and salami or meat of your choice in a fry pan coated with some Smart Balance spay and sauteed until slightly brown. (I also tossed in a dash of basil and some red pepper flakes at this point) At the same time start to cook your pasta according to the directions.

 At the same time, I chopped up the spinach and the basil leaves.

 I poured the sauce and tomato paste mixture (can of tomato sauce, can of tomato paste, sugar, salt, and pepper) into the vegetables once they were done and let simmer on low while I made the cheese mixture.

 I beat the egg white, ricotta, cottage cheese, mozzarella, spinach, and basil together in a separate bowl.
Then I added half of the sauce from the frying pan to the cheese mixture.

I stuffed my pasta with the cheese mixture and put in a 9x9 glass pan.

Once I had all of the pasta stuffed, I arranged it more like lasagna than the stuffed shells.

I   put the other half of the sauce on top of the pasta in the pan.

I used a veggie parm cheese as a topping to the pasta before I put it in the oven.
Cook for between 20 and 30 minutes until the top is a little brown.

I served it with a side salad with a light vinaigrette dressing.

You can also make this with any pasta of your choice and have a spaghetti or pasta bake. This can also be done in the crockpot if you want to pre-make it and throw it all in at lunch time to be ready for dinner. Shoot me a question if you want crockpot details. :)
