DIRECTIONS

1.

To make breadcrumbs, toast hamburger buns in a low temperature oven (200 degrees F) until slightly golden brown and firm.

2.

In a sauté pan, heat the vegetable oil.
Add the sliced zucchini, mushrooms, and onions.
Sauté for 3 minutes or until tender.
Stir in flour and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Place broccoli in a full-size steamtable pan (12"x20"x2 1/2") and steam for 6 minutes, or until tender.
Drain well and add to zucchini mixture.

4.

In a braising pan or steam-jacketed kettle, heat the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Add the oregano and garlic powder. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Add the sautéed vegetables and steamed broccoli to the tomato sauce. Stir to combine.
Simmer for 10 minutes.

5.

In a large bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, and bread crumbs. Mix well.
