1.Use a low or reduced fat cheese. Instead of piling on your normal shredded cheese, use low fat or two percent cheeses.
2. Make a veggie lasagna. Adding veggies like mushrooms, spinach and zucchini or squash will give your lasagna a healthy kick compared to the normal lasagna recipe. Eggplant is another great substitution for meat in lasagna. Instead of boiling the veggies, roast them in the oven before adding them to your lasagna.
3. Use ground chicken and turkey instead of ground pork and beef. Changing the type of meat used in lasagna can change the overall calorie intake per serving.
4. Use whole-wheat lasagna noodles. Whole-wheat pasta is not only healthier; it is lighter pasta that won’t leave you feeling extremely full and bloated. Another healthier option is to use zucchini as the noodle for a lower cab dish. Grilling or roasting the zucchini first is best.
5. Make seafood lasagna. Use shrimp and/or crab meat to spruce up your lasagna without adding extra calories. There are a number of recipes online for this one but https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/seafood-lasagna-10000000554629/ is one of my favorites.
