5 healthy lasagna recipes
Lasagna is one of my favorite meals of all time. I prefer to make a super-cheat-meal version of lasagna, including three kinds of cheese. This, sadly, does not fit every day in my macronutrients. Nevertheless, I still love to put a large dish of lasagna on the table on a cold evening, enjoying it's delicious taste. Lasagna is an easy dish to prepare, it is warm, filling and always tasty with a salad. So, I went on a quest to find five healthy lasagna recipes that could be eaten any day. Enjoy!
