This was really good. I thought I'd miss having fewer noodles in it but I didn't. I didn't put any sausage in it. Instead, I just used 1 lb of ground beef instead of 3/4 of a pound. I also added 1 more cup of spaghetti sauce to the meat sauce mixture cause my fam likes saucy lasagna! I am so impressed with the 3 g of fiber and 23 g of protein! Wow, this really fills you up!

Simply the best. Rich, zesty, cheesy goodness in every bite. Don't change a thing on this one.

BEST healthier lasagna I've ever made!

The lasagna was heavenly. I used my own canned tomato sauce along with a jar of store bought spaghetti sauce and I used smoked turkey kielbasa because my store didn't have the links. This is recipe that I will keep. Thank you Jacob Kitzman for a healthy and tasty lasagna.

I used ricotta instead of cottage cheese and it turned out great! No one even noticed the whole wheat noodles!

No the BEST lasagna I've ever had, but quite tasty. I loved that it didn't have layer upon layer upon layer of ingredients...it was pretty easy to make and assemble.

I am on a weight loss journey and have lost 35 pds so far. I came across this recipe and made it and it was amazing! I used all the ingredients but I did assemble it a little differently and I used ground chicken instead of ground beef(to lower the calories and fat a bit more) it was absolutely delicious!!! It presented very well also!!

I used one pound of turkey italian sausage & put some parmesam on top, because it wouldn't be lasagna without that taste on top. I loved it, not as much as my old lasagna that has about 3# of cheese in it, but I can't have that anymore. Actually, this recipe is very good.
