Good idea! If you wanted to lighten the recipe a bit more you could do every other layer with eggplant and spinach instead of noodles. I found adding extra veggies into lasagna lower the calories and up the fiber!
Quick question though, what is the cream cheese for? Is it mixed with the ricotta because it has less calories or just a different texture?
Thanks for the ideas and post!

my family has always made lasagna with cream cheese added, i just like the taste. and yes my friend said she uses zucchini in place of the noodles, I may try that next time, she said she prefers it that way!0

Questions: What size square pan did you use? 8x8?
Do you use 6 lasagna noodles in total?

I mix my ricotta cheese with cottage cheese. When its just DH & I instead of noodles I slice zucchini & yellow squash ( I'll have to add spinach too next time). But if all of the kids (& their spouses, & grand kids) come over its the regular version with noodles. My family is so large i have to do it in the big blue turkey roasting pan. Regardless of which version I make I use low fat or lite on all of the cheeses. Always have & kids don't care. And my ground beef is 99% lean. Maybe I'll pick up some squash & do this next weekend. Thanks for the reminder of how good this is!0

You could replace the lasagne pasta sheets with leeks. Basically slice down the middle and blanche to create sheets.
It was a success for two dieting TV chefs here in the UK last year.0
