This recipe was given to me by a former co-worker. It is much lighter and healthier than regular lasagna.

I wanted to make this recipe for a while, finally got almost all the ingredients that the recipe calls for, used spaghetti instead of fettuccine. I think it should be ok.

It's baking in the oven, and smelling so good. Will be updating how it tastes later...
