Lasagna Bombs: A Flavorful Twist on a Classic Dish
Introduction: Prepare to tantalize your taste buds with our Lasagna Bombs—a delightful twist on the traditional lasagna recipe that promises to satisfy your cravings without compromising your wellness goals. With just 3 Weight Watchers points for 2 bombs, these savory delights are sure to become a favorite in your household.
Smart Ingredient Choices: We begin our culinary adventure by opting for canned fire-roasted tomatoes and tomato sauce, which add depth and richness to our homemade spaghetti sauce. These ingredients are not only flavorful but also contribute minimal points to your meal, allowing you to enjoy guilt-free indulgence.
Cottage Cheese Creaminess: Instead of traditional ricotta cheese, we use 1% low-fat cottage cheese to create a creamy and indulgent filling for our Lasagna Bombs. Combined with a hint of shredded fat-free mozzarella, this mixture adds a decadent touch to each bite while keeping the points in check.
Carb-Conscious Pasta: For the pasta component of our Lasagna Bombs, we turn to Carba Nada fettuccine—a low-carb alternative that allows you to enjoy the comfort of pasta without the added guilt. Cooked al dente, these noodles provide the perfect base for our flavorful creation.
Sauce Sensation: Our homemade spaghetti sauce is a labor of love, featuring sautéed onion, minced garlic, chopped red pepper, and a medley of seasonings. With a dash of salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and Italian seasoning, this sauce bursts with robust flavors that elevate our Lasagna Bombs to new heights.
Assembly Artistry: To assemble our Lasagna Bombs, we layer the components in individual mini loaf pans—starting with a dollop of sauce to cover the bottom, followed by a portion of cooked Carba Nada fettuccine, and a generous spread of the cottage cheese mixture. We repeat these layers, ensuring that each bomb is packed with flavor and texture.
Baking Brilliance: After assembling our Lasagna Bombs, we bake them to perfection at 350°F for 20 minutes. A sprinkle of shredded non-fat mozzarella on top adds a final touch of cheesy goodness before they’re returned to the oven for an additional 5 minutes. Once baked to golden perfection, we let them rest before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
