Zone Diet
Recipe : Zone Manicotti
Ingredients For
Zone Manicotti
2 oz light
mozzarella cheese (2P & 3F)
4 oz mozzarella fat free (4P)
6 oz fat free ricotta cheese (3P)
2 oz parmesan (2p & 5F)
1/4 c parsley
1 egg white
juice of one lemon
1 garlic clove minced
1 tsp oregano
pepper and basil to taste
2 long eggplants (sliced thin lengthwise)
1 tsp of olive oil (3F)
1 jar of light spaghetti sauce (check your label for your exact
carb and add additional salad and fruit to make up the rest of
your dinner. We figure the carbs in the other ingredients are
negligible, plus the egg white offsets some.)
Preparation
Method for Zone Manicotti
Spray a large
baking stone or cookie sheet with non-stick, and lay sliced
eggplant in a single layer and brush with oil, bake until
tender, usually 10 minutes at 375.
Meanwhile, mix
light mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan, parsley, egg white, lemon,
seasonings.
Spoon some of the
sauce in the bottom of a 9x9 baking dish. This is eleven protein
and fat blocks so I usually try to make 11 separate
"manicotti's". Spread this on the eggplant and roll up
lengthwise. Place in the pan then pour remaining sauce over the
top of the eggplant and sprinkle with the light mozzarella. you
can place covered in the refrigerator overnight or bake
immediately at 375 for 25 min. or until heated. Everyone even
the kids love this alternative to pasta manicotti.
