    I just looked at the calories, Biggest Loser vs. Skinny Taste, and the Biggest Loser is lower calories too. :bigsmile:

    Try using spaghetti-squash. I've tried it, and it makes a good substitute if you don't like eggplant or zucchini.

    I agree, I make it with eggplant and it's great. Or you can make a mexican-style lasagna and use tortilla shells. If you are looking for a brand of pasta though Dreamfields pasta is low carb.

    I haven't tried this recipe of hers, but I've liked several others. I recommend the site in general.

    I saw some people use leeks on the TV. They cut them into sheets and parboiled them to straighten them out.

    This but drain as much liquid off as possible it's great! :bigsmile:

    and it's the hairy bikers by the way! x

    I actually just found that same recipe but I'm going to leave out the meat and use the low fat traditional prego so that I can make it tonight. It looks delicious. My son is a really picky eater so I'm going to tell him the zucchini is green pasta. lol! Let's hope that works.

    I use wonton wrappers and make little mini lasagnas in cupcake tins. I got the recipe on this site- Lasagna Cupcakes. They're yummy :-)

    I vote for the Lasagna Cupcakes. They're delicious.

    I've used Won-Ton wrappers to make mini lasagna in a cupcake tin. They crisp up nicely and are super low carb/calorie.

    I use the Barilla no-boil pasta sheets.

    The recipe I use has two pasta layers which means 6 total lasagna sheets are used.

    The entire pan of lasagna makes eight servings. All the pasta in the recipe comes out at 380 calories TOTAL for all eight servings. That's 48 calories worth of pasta for each serving of lasagna.

    I don't see 48 calories as a deal-breaker. I say just continue to use pasta.

    (In my experience zucchini and eggplant are terrible substitutes! The water content of these vegetables is so high, it turns a pan of lasagna into a sloppy mess!)

    I make lasagna with zucchini and yellow squash in place of the noodles. Slice it super thin and add plenty of the good cheeses and real garlic and you will be pleased. The first two times my Dad had it at my house he didn't notice the noodles were missing. The third time he got an edge piece and noticed there was no ruffley burnt noodle edge - lol

    I have used cabbage as the noodles and ricotta is low fat anyways so use it. Zuccini is a night shade veg and causes inflammation ( water weight gain)...

    but the problem is, zukes are foul vegetables sent here by the debbil hisself. and eggplants aren't far behind. Slimy veggies- barf.

    I totally agree! These vegetables are so water-based that I think they'd turn any lasagna into mush!

    You don't cook them first, just slice them super thin and layer them in. I won't be mad if you don't try it, but I swear it really is good stuff.

    Use, eggplant instead....you can't even tell the difference in taste, only slightly in texture
