"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.

make your own tomato sauce and it's really good. Don't ever substitute cottage cheese for the ricotta however. That makes it high school cafeteria lasagne

I found it a little dry. Maybe more sauce would be beneficial. Also didn't have enough flavour for my husband.

I made this recipe tonight and it was very good. I did add some Italian seasoning, as it seemed short on seasonings. Also added some onion and mushrooms, which I sauteed in a dab of olive oil first , then just added to the sauce. Also I thought it would have been better with cottage cheese, the ricotta was a bit dry Otherwise it was excellent!!

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.
