Low-Fat Lasagna

My step-monster, Julie Churchman, made this a lot growing up. Not only it is a healthier version of a traditional lasagna, but it’s super easy to put together. I don’t know if it’s because this is what I’m used to, but I much prefer this lasagna to a traditional lasagna at an Italian restaurant!
