Kraft Kitchens Tips

Variation

Substitute 2 pouches (2 cups) frozen BOCA Ground Crumbles for the browned ground beef. Add to spaghetti sauce in saucepan along with the garlic and oregano; cook until heated through, stirring occasionally. Continue as directed.

Makeover - How We Did It

We've made over a traditional lasagna that results in a savings of 140 calories and 10 grams of fat per serving. We replaced the sausage with extra lean ground beef and decreased the amount, used cottage cheese in place of ricotta cheese, decreased the Parmesan and used KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese.

Make Ahead

Assemble lasagna as directed; cover. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake, covered, at 375F for 40 min. or until heated through.
