Low-Fat No Boil Lasagna

Submitted by MsSally

"I was inspired by the recipe on the back of the Mullers box. I came up with this low-fat version of the original, but don't tell DH it is low fat, he'll never know otherwise. The secret ingredient is cornstarch this keeps the wateriness (is that a word) out of the fat free cheese."

Made this with fat free meatless ground veggie crumbles, fat free Prego sauce and fat free Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. My enire family LOVED it!!! It was just as good as the high fat version I used to make!

This is so delicious! My family and I loved this!! I am trying to eat healthier these days and love lasagna! This turned out so well, I know I will make it this way from now on. I made a double batch and took one pan of it to a friend who just had a baby. She and her family loved it too. And no one but me knew it was a healthy version! Thanks for a great recipe!

This is the best-tasting no-fuss lasagna recipe ever! I love the fact that you don't have to pre-boil the noodles! This scrumptious dish was in the oven in no time flat. What a nice perk that it's even low-fat-friendly! Thanks, MsSally, for an excellent recipe!

Delicious and easy! I made this close to the directions, but did use low-fat (I didn't find fat-free ricotta in the market, they may have been out) and decided to use eggs instead of the sub. My lasagna noodles look thinner than the other photo, so I won't post here, but this was really tasty and eay - thanks for a great lo-cal and fat recipe - even with my switches!!

Delicious lasagna! I made it even lower fat by increasing the noodle to cheese ratio, and topped it with some fresh parsley. I didn't have any Mrs. Dash, so I used various spices, including Italian seasoning, and some fresh garlic. Crushed red peppers would be good too, if you like a kick. I found that 1/2 cup of egg substitute is equivalent to about 4 egg whites. I have to admit I was nervous about the no bake part, but it worked like a charm. Enjoyed it very much!
