"Due to an injury, I'm not as active as I used to be and can't burn off the calories. Because I love Italian food, one of the first things I looked for was a low-fat lasagna. This meatless recipe is not only good, it's good for you," writes E. Marie Goetz of Morgantown, Kentucky.

i used a 26 oz.jar of ragu and one 8 oz can of tomato sauce instead of the 2 cans of tomato sauce.

I use fresh spinach on white pizza sometimes. After washing, put in salad spinner or use paper towels to remove excess water. Spray a frying pan with olive oil. Add spinach and cook on medium/high heat. Keep turning spinach over until it becomes wilted and water seeps out. Put spinach on paper towels to drain and use in your favorite recipes. Works for me.

I would like to substitute fresh spinach. How do you prep the fresh spinach after it has been washed?

I would simply use 2 eggs with the cottage cheese and I use cottage cheese.
