| 1. Preheat your oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. | 2. In a non stick frying pan, brown the meat for about 7 minutes. Season with salt. | 3. Drain any excess fat from the pan by placing the meat into a sieve, keep aside. | 4. In the same pan, fry the onion, garlic, celery, carrot and mushrooms in a little olive oil for about five minutes. | 5. Add the meat back to the pan and add the tomato paste and chopped tomatoes at the same time. | 6. Season using the oregano, basil and sugar. Add salt and black pepper to taste. | 7. Simmer for about 15 minutes. | 8. In the meantime add the spinach, zucchini, cottage cheese and egg whites together in a bowl. Using a hand blender of food processor, blitz the ingredients until you achieve a sauce. | 9. Spread 1/4 of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a large lasagne dish. Cover with three lasange sheets. Next add another layer, using another 1/4 of the tomato sauce and then cover with half the cottage cheese sauce. Place the remaining three lasagne sheets over the top and cover with the remaining cottage cheese sauce. | 10. Cover with tin foil and bake for 45 minutes. After that time, remove the foil and top with the grated mozzarella cheese. Then return to the oven for a further 15 minutes. | 11. Serve with a green side salad. | 12. Note: As zuccini contain a lot of water, you might first want to place the grated pieces in a collander and sprinkle them with a little salt. Squeeze out any excess water before adding with the other ingredients. This is optional. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
