    Recipe Introduction


    No, this lasagna is not impossible to make. . .it just seems that it's impossible to have this much flavor in such a healthy preparation. You know how they say in the Army that "the difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer"? Well, this recipe, start to finish, takes just over 30 minutes.

    • 9 tablespoons Bisquick reduced-fat baking mix
    • 2 eggs or equivalent in egg substitute
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet sprayed with olive-flavored cooking spray, brown meat. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with olive-flavored cooking spray. Layer cottage cheese and House Italian cheese on bottom. Add Italian seasoning, tomato sauce, and 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese to browned meat. Spoon over cheese layer.
