Great Lasagna Recipe!

Here's a recipe that I got from SparkPeople.com, I'm going to use some of Barilla Pasta Plus to up the Protien factor ... They don't have a lasagna noodle that I've been able to find, so, I'll just layer in some of the pasta and make more of a lasagna casserole. The protien on this dish is an impressive 16.4, I think with the addition of the Barilla Pasta Plus, it will be closer to 20. That's pretty good.

I hope you enjoy!
