Hi everyone,
I love this recipe so much I had to share with MFP friends!

The total recipe is about 750 calories. With my giant runners appetite I split into two servings for 375 per serving. A normal person might split this into four, making it less than 200 calories per person!

Ingredients:

1 green pepper, chopped
1 cup tomato sauce (light) - 60 calories per 1/2 cup
4 cups cooked spaghetti squash (usually one medium)
2/3 cups of yves veggie ground round (or your favorite ground turkey or beef)
1 cup cottage cheese
4 cups baby spinach (fresh)
3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Green onion and cilantro, chopped

Directions:

Prepare the sauce by lighting frying the green pepper and chipotle peppers
Add in the green onions and cilantro, lightly fry some more
Add in tomato sauce
Season with salt and pepper
Let the sauce simmer

    That's not a lasagne. I don't know what it would be called but it certainly isn't lasagne.

    I'm gonna be the party pooper, this looks like a really yummy spaghetti squash dish (I'm a big fan of the spaghetti squash and using other squashes in place of noodles as I'm gluten free, so don't get me wrong) but this doesn't even look like the ingredients mimic lasagna, and the picture simply looks like a really yummy salad.

    If you are looking for a really good option for a fauxsagna, make lasagna but use a mandolin and slice zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise and use them in place of noodles.

    This is not lasagna at all, actually. This is lasagna.
