This is a satisfying dish that has been modified (from a traditional lasagna) in two ways.. First it has half the calories as a regular lasagna, and second, it is extremely quick and easy to make. The cheese on top gets warm, bubbly and browned… It makes my mouth water just thinking of it! It also comes with the added bonus of being a nutritionally balanced meal.

Thanks for the recipe! I tried it and it was great. I went the route with the zucchini instead of the pasta and it was fantastic. I also added chopped spinach and chopped broccoli into it and it was a great addition.
Thanks for all the great healthy recipes and keep it up!

Matt…I’m glad to hear you tried it with zucchini! :) It really sounds like you ‘made it your own’ which I always LOVE! :) Glad to hear you liked it…thanks for the comment!

Hi Katie,
looks a lot like the low card lasagna I always make. About the zucchini: I always grill them thinly sliced in a non-stick pan without oil on medium to high heat. It’s gives flavor and those nice grill marks!

Made Katie’s lasagna last night using the whole wheat noodles. It was delicious. Thanks, Katie.

i love lasagna! I wonder if you have ever tried turkey, as in not ground turkey and if it would make a difference.

I made this tonight… I was blown away with how much it tastes like regular lasagna!!

I made this today and it is totally amazing! I used the zucchini slices instead of the noodles – using every opportunity to eat some more vegetables.
I also added cauliflower (like your wonderful cauliflower mini pizza bites) and then mixed the cottage cheese in it.
The points came out to 6 and 6 servings, but I think that is because the turkey was not extra lean and I used some extra cottage cheese.
I will make again and try it with the lasagna noodles.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Katie! Love your site. How many people does this serve? I see the WWP+ value per slice but can you tell me how many slices it makes? I’m assuming 6 or 8 but wanted to check…
Dashing Dish said:
hi becca! it has 8 servings…sorry i put it in the wrong box so that was hidden for this recipe! :)

Step 3 calls for mozzarella cheese, but it’s not included in the ingredient list. Does the nutritional analysis include the mozzarella, and if so, how much?
Karen said:
In your ingredient list, it says the noodles are to be cooked according to package directions. However, in your description, you said that they don’t need to be cooked ahead of time. Could you clear this up for me?
Dashing Dish said:
sure! you do need to cook the lasagna according to package directions, then add it to the lasagna. I didn’t re-write it in the method, because I had already mentioned to pre-cook them in the ingredient list :)
Karen said:
No – I was referred to your recipe description – NOT the instructions. Your description says the following:
“This is a satisfying dish that has been modified (from a traditional lasagna) in two ways.. First it has half the calories as a regular lasagna, and second it is very quick and easy to make, because it doesn’t require cooking the noodles before hand!”
That’s why I was confused about the noodle cooking.
Dashing Dish said:
Ahhhh I see :) I think i meant to put if you used no cook lasagna :)
Diana said:
The mozzarella cheese is listed in the directions, but not in the ingredients. Is it included in the points? If so, how much?
Thank you.

hey doll – my hubs and i ADORE this recipe, but i was just curious… are the nutritionals & WWP+ calculated with or withOUT the 1 cup part skim mozzarella cheese?
Dashing Dish said:
everything is always included unless it says optional :)
Josephine Peyton Sturkey said:
I was confused bc the recipe posted here does NOT include the mozzarella in the ingredient list, but it’s mentioned in the instructions. BUT, I bought your mealplan and the mozz cheese IS included in the ingredient list there. Regardless, thanks for clarifying!

I love the look of this recipe but am conscious of my carb intake at the moment. If you make the recipe with zucchini slices how many zucchinis do I use? Thanks

go check out my no noodles lasagna! :)

Delish! Made this with all turkey, regular lasagna noodles and FF cottage cheese and it came out to 6pp+ (in larger 6 portions vs smaller 8). Really tasty and good for you! My hubby went back for thirds! I put the rest into containers and have been bringing for lunch because they reheat well.
