LOW-FAT NO BOIL LASAGNA
I was inspired by the recipe on the back of the Mullers box. I came up with this low-fat version of the original, but don't tell DH it is low fat, he'll never know otherwise. The secret ingredient is cornstarch this keeps the wateriness (is that a word) out of the fat free cheese.

Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a flavorful lasagna. A good combination is mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan.
- Make sure to use a good quality pasta sauce. A homemade sauce is always best, but a store-bought sauce can also be used.
- Don't overcook the lasagna noodles. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Let the lasagna cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it to set and hold its shape.
- Serve the lasagna with a side salad or garlic bread.
