    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!

    No, a normal person eats a meal that is more than 200 calories. Are you kidding me?



    And what's so evil about pasta?

    Cottage cheese in lasagna - just no. It's gotta be ricotta, with egg in it, and lots of mozzarella. And no pasta? Pshht. That's a veggie casserole.

    So ... it's pasta sauce with some cheese on it?

    I had to go back and double check, where's the cheese? Cottage chesse is not real cheese, SO WHERE'S THE FREAKING CHEESE?!!? I don't know why this is making me so mad, but the lack of cheese is infuriating to me! It has to have crispy crunchy oooey gooey cheese, lasagne must have cheese.

    I don't care at all about driving traffic to my site. I was simply trying to provide those that might not be as familiar with how to cook spaghetti squash as a link to more information. I share recipes all over the web and seem to experience the most negative reaction from MFP users. I never understand it as when I was trying to lose weight, I was always searching for lower calorie options and saying to "just eat pasta" wasn't an option as it was the pasta that got me nice and chunky in the first place.
    Perhaps my lasagna growing up wasn't the same as everyone else, but I took every ingredient from my family recipe and merely cut out the noodles and the cheese. I plated it more like a salad and added spaghetti squash....therefore, its my version of a noodle free lasagna. Whatever you want to call it - salad, spaghetti squash casserole, general sauce on squash...oh well! Have a great Monday everyone! I am making grilled eggplant tonight for dinner - I wonder what biased name I can call that recipe :)

    Exactly.
    At least this time she actually listed the ingredients. In another recipe thread she made sure you had to go to the site.

    What you made was marinara sauce on lettuce with cottage cheese on it.

    There is nothing "lasagna" about that. The spaghetti squash makes it a little bit like pasta with marinara sauce, but why the lettuce? And cottage cheese does not belong anywhere near any kind of lasagna.

    You basically poured pasta sauce on lettuce, put cottage cheese on it and called it lasagna.

    You get negative reactions here because most of us are foodies of some sort and we resepct good food.

    la·sa·gna also la·sa·gne (l-zäny)
    n.
    1. Pasta in flat, very wide strips.
    2. A dish made by baking such pasta with layers of sauce and fillings such as cheese or meat.

    once you take out the pasta, it is no longer a lasagna.......it is a spaghetti squash casserole

    I appreciate your post. I LOVE lasagna, but I hate the calories and all the carbs that come with it. Haters gonna hate, so don't worry about that. :)

    375 cals per serving = giant runners appetite

    Are you kidding with this? :noway:


    And the "lasagne" - you make the whole of Italy weep :sad:

    chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and cilantro - since when are they in lasagna. :huh:

    Couldn't be further away from the actual dish.

    Rename it - repost it. You'll get slightly better responses.

    Wait, why is 375 calories bad? That's like, an excellent very well behaved dinner for me and I'm on a 1300 base calorie diet (excluding exercise). My dinners usually clock in higher than that.

    Oh, and I agree with the others that say this is not lasagna. I wish people would just call things what they actually are, not what they wish they were eating.

    This. Most of my meals are from 700 to an obscene amount of calories

    It's a chunky sauce, not lasagna.

    You do understand that lasagna needs layers right? :indifferent:
