I was feeling a little creative today and followed through on an idea I had; to make Lasagna without tomato sauce and to try and make it a bit "friendlier" for those of us that have Type II Diabetes. Wasn't all that successful in making a drastic reduction to carbs and fat but did make a bit of one.
Here's how it turned out:
And here's the recipe I came up with:
Servings: 12
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Start to finish: 1 hour 30 minutes
Notes: - Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- The ingredients make up more than the 13 x 9-inch pan can hold
so I also use a glass loaf pan and follow the same procedure. This can
be covered and frozen for later use.
