Preparation<\/h3>\n

Checca Sauce<\/strong>
\n1. In a food processor, combine all ingredients.<\/p>\n

2. Pulse until tomatoes are coarsely chopped; be careful not to pur\u00e9e them.<\/p>\n

3. Transfer to a bowl.<\/p>\n

Lentil Loaf<\/strong>
\n1. Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Spray a 10×4\u00bd- inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.<\/p>\n

2. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add onion, carrot and celery and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool slightly.<\/p>\n

3. In same skillet, cook spinach over medium heat until it wilts, about 3 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.<\/p>\n

4. Squeeze excess liquid from spinach. Transfer to a cutting board and coarsely chop. Add to onion mixture.<\/p>\n

5. Add lentils, brown rice, \u00be cup of the mozzarella, corn, basil, eggs, egg white, salt, pepper and sauce. Spoon mixture into prepared pan.<\/p>\n

6. Arrange tomatoes in 2 rows on top, covering loaf completely.<\/p>\n

7. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and drizzle with remaining olive oil.<\/p>\n

8. Bake until loaf is heated through and topping is melted and starting to brown, 30 to 35 minutes.<\/p>\n

9. Let cool 15 minutes. Slice loaf (still in pan) into 1-inch slices and serve with remaining sauce.<\/p>\n

Serves 6.<\/strong><\/p>\n
