This looks good!!!

And, for those avoiding pasta, you could use strips of zucchini, or you could use crepes.

Appletini

Thanks for the recipe! The flavorings and adding spinach sounds yummy!

Another idea, instead of using pasta (I am a carb junkie...) is to use large cabbage leaves as the "pasta" layer. Obviously, it's not a direct pasta replacement, but it's pretty yummy. And it freezes great...I take it for lunch.

I'm going to try this. Thanks for posting it. I love lasagna
and this is low fat and the prep time is great.

love the cabbage leaf idea - i'd never thought of that!

i like to substitute extra firm tofu for the noodles - packed with protein, and even my boyfriend approved!

Appletini

tofu is a great idea!

I also just found out that they make fat free ricotta cheese!!!

I made the lasagna last night with cabbage and ricotta and it was delicious!!
