Lasagna Prep PointersTo keep lasagna from becoming soupy, be certain to drain the noodles well and pat them dry. Use a thick tomato sauce. Add a beaten egg to the ricotta or cottage cheese filling to help bind it together. Saute and drain well any vegetables such as mushrooms or zucchini that may add extra liquid. Be sure to let baked lasagna stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Another option is to try no-boil lasagna noodles, which absorb extra moisture while cooking. They can be found in the pasta section of most grocery stores.

This was the best lasagna I have ever made! You can't tell that this is light and healthier for you. Everyone that I have passed the recipe on to has absolutely loved it! Highly recommended!

I find that the concept of this recipe is a great idea, but the sauce that you make out of the tomato paste/water/seasonings is very lacking in flavor and actually takes away from the lasagna. When I make this again, I'm going to use a jarred sauce or find a really good sauce recipe to make first.
