Not-Like-The-Others Seafood Lasagna

Submitted by Amy020

"This is a nice, lighter seafood lasagna. No cottage cheese. No mozzarella. No cream-of-anything soup. The secret is the SWISS CHEESE sauce - sounds crazy, but it works really nicely with the other flavors. I am generally not a fan of imitation crab (nothing's as good as the real thing!), but in this case you need the firmer texture to hold its own with everything else. It's 7 WW points/serving."

Excellent! I made 3 different lasagna's (meat sauce, veggy, and the seafood) for a family event; this seafood one was the clear winner! Would certainly make it again. It does take time to make the sauces - but they were worth the effort!!
