Wow! Who new a casserole could be included in your DIET? Not me...and this one is really good too! I made it for my family and never disclosed it's healthy side to any of them. They raved about it and all had seconds! I am SOOOOO happy that I can finally get healthy, and not make my family feel tortured at the dinner table...as a matter of fact they are going to secretly be getting healther themselves!!

This was very basic and good. I also substituted cottage cheese for the ricotta because I had it.
