Fill Up not Fill OUT: Low Cal Lasagna WITH Pasta for Wayne

Fill Up not Fill OUT: Low Cal Lasagna WITH Pasta for Wayne

VI Blog Poets About the Author I'm a ghost but not the kind that's to pottery wheels. I'm the wnting kind Toften wonder if Im a tech-savvy writer or a writing-savvy technologist Maybe I'm both. As one CMO put it, "Paul makes tech my bitch! That might be going a hittle too far myTweetPack.com The Ultimate Twitter SystemA little bit ago, I wrote a post/recipe about Mediterranean Pasta with Seafood. In the comments, Wayne Yoshida said he makes lasagna without pasta. He subs sliced zucchini for the pasta sheets. 

That got me to thinking. Lasagna just isn't lasagna without pasta. 

This recipe is for Wayne and all the other Lasagna Lovers out there who want to fill up without filling out.

This recipe makes 6 portions of about 395 Calories each. The portions are about 482g each. That's over a pound of food for not many Calories at all!

Who says you have to eat like a bird to lose weight? That, by the way, is a silly saying. Birds eat 2-3 times their body weight every day. 

That's not the best idea for weight loss,  but it's on the right track. Going hungry is a sure-fire way to self-sabotage your efforts.

There's a trick to this stuff. We need to keep recipes as close to the originals as possible while still making them edible, yummy, AND low-cal! Thank God for the USDA Nutrients Database https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list

Thank you Paul.. This should help maintain my lean, lithe, panther-like figure. (Although I have no idea why people laugh when I say that...)

YAY! Thanks Paul \ -- My fake lasagna also uses low fat cottage cheese instead of ricotta. I need to post that recipe - but maybe not, since this one is here.
