If you use low and non fat cheese along with ground turkey or extra lean ground steak, it's can actually be pretty healthy the tomato sauce is the key to the taste, and they are loaded with antioxidants. There are no egg noodles too, watch the portions, make a great salad with lots of vegatables like cucumber and shreaded carrots and zuccini and a simple balsalmic dressing! the salad will fill you up then savory the dishes slowly they are rich, but by eating slowly it make you feel full even though you didn't eat so much. PORTIONS! are key taste is was you should enjoy!

will be making the seafood lasagna for a family holiday get together tomorrow. What a nice change and twist to a lasagna! will be using low fat ricotta intead of cottage cheese, but should be just as yummy! Might try a bit of seafood seasoning in it as well, just to add that little bite!

It is no wonder that more Americans die from heart problems than citizens of any other country - with recipes like these being passed off as healthy. There is no excuse for not losing another year or two of life! Why not try promoting some HEALTHY recipes. First thing to change is get rid of the regular lasagna noodles and replace them with Whole Wheat, get rid of regular cottage cheese and use Low or non fat Ricotta as suggested by Cheryl. Using sugar-free tomato sauce, or better yet, use your own homemade tomato sauce is a great change - We have way too much sugar in our diets now. the Tomato sauce can be spiced up with fresh crushed garlic, finely crushed/diced onions, Oregano, and the use of Fines Herbs. We all love to eat the worst foods possible. Otherwise the fast food chains would go broke!

Your trying to make a dish like lasagna and complain about the fat content?????LMAO! Come on folks...its LASAGNA! As far as lactose intolerant people...my wife is lactose intolerant and (I own a personal chef service) I have found that using some of the soy cheeses that are out now has worked very well as a substitute. You need to try a few varieties to find one that you like and that has good consistency.....

I think we can use these recipes but just obmit or substitute some of the ingredients for healthier ones. Its no big deal. We can all stop complaining and achieve healthier lasagnas if we can try that. I've seen it done before heh.

I am a vegetarian and I make my own uncheese for Lasagna and all other "cheese" dishes, I also use my own "unmeat" in place of the animal meats and believe me they are great tasting and low in unhealthy fats.......

About lactose intolerance: Unless you are uber-sensitive to lactose, cheese should not bother you, depending that is on the cheese. Most hard cheeses have very low levels of lactose. Yes they are made from milk but the bacteria that are used in the cheese making process actually convert the lactose into lactic acid. Since many lactose intolerant people have insufficient enzymes in there body to break down lactose, side effects result when other enzymes and bacteria break down the lactose. Since the lactose is already broken down in cheeses such as cheddar, mozzarella, and swiss, this should not cause gastrointestinal stress for those that are mildly to moderately intolerant such as I am. For those that are hyper sensitive to lactose, you would either have to find a vegetable based cheese or stick to the tomato based lasagnas, eliminating the cheese or keeping it to a minimum. Thanks for all the different takes on lasagna. I'll have to try some of them out at my next dinner party.

There's nothing wrong whatso ever with Lasagna,like some comments,just use the wheat noodles,which you'll never know the difference,and the other low cal. ingreds. Small portion will be tuff,but you can do it. yes! yummy leftovers. It's worth the time.

These variations give a nice variety to an old world recipe...love them all...and besides, a little fat in the diet is good for you...just not every meal...it is unhealthy to eat 0 fat grams a day!!!!!!

Well, this is exciting. I love lasagna and so does the rest of my family. And the occasional high calorie meal isn't going to kill you. As for lactose intolerance, I sometimes use soy or non-dairy cheese when I cook, but I also have pills I can take (Lactaid or other brands are available) because my family is a big fan of cheesy dishes.

This editor just came up with another article on foods to avoid when eating out (suggesting for example to eat cucumber rolls instead of eel), yet apparently it's OK to splurge wholeheartedly on lasagna. So while the rest of us are left confused and frustrated by the conflicting advice, she laughs her way to the bank after being paid to write this stuff. She cannot say to simply "lighten up" the lasagna recipes, since if she can allow eating even a lighter lasagna, she can allow people to eat a little sour cream. Why is it so hard for these editors to give the straightforward answer of "everything depends on balance and moderation"?! Maybe it's because they'd be out of a job if everybody actually got healthier!
