Lasagna is a classic Italian dish that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It is a hearty and flavorful casserole made with layers of pasta, cheese, and sauce. However, traditional lasagna can be high in fat and calories. If you are looking for a healthier version of this classic dish, then you should try making no-boil lasagna. No-boil lasagna is made with pre-cooked lasagna noodles, which means that you don't have to boil them before assembling the dish. This saves time and energy, and it also helps to reduce the amount of fat and calories in the lasagna.

LOW-FAT NO BOIL LASAGNA
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.

OUR FAVORITE NO BOIL LASAGNA
I found this recipe a long time ago on a box or jar, we've made our own additions to it over the years. Everyone always comments on the great flavors and the secret is the sausage- we use breakfast sausage for a great slightly spicy slightly sweet taste. You can use any red pasta sauce that you like- we LOVE a roasted red pepper and onion flavor because it complements the sausage really well. Enjoy!
