friend, you may have stumbled onto the wrong message board here. this is actually for low carb recipes only which means no pastas. that being said, this is a low carb version of a protein lasagna as the name clearly says. it is in no way meant to be a full blown version of a high carb and high calorie italian lasagna that I'm sure you are speaking of. please refrain from depositing uninformed comments here because this is for low carb recipes only. thank you very much and have a nice day
