Who wouldn't want to sing when they learn they can eat 1/2 a pan of this lasagna and still stay on their diet. Even if you make this recipe with low-fat or light ricotta cheese, each serving of lasagna will have 253 calories, 6.5g fat, and a POINTS® value of 5*. Not bad at all! Courtesy of Hungry Girl! Ingredients:
1 eggplant (cut 2, 1/4 thick slices lengthwise from a 'long' eggplant, pat dry) |
1 egg white (or 2 tbsp. liquid egg whites) |
1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese (or alternative below) |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic |

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
