Low Fat Vegetable Lasagna made with reduced fat cottage and mozzarella cheeses, zucchini, spinach, carrots and crushed tomatoes. Yes. I am half Italian; however, I was never a big fan of ricotta cheese or what some may call 'pot cheese'; which is why I don't make lasagna, baked ziti or ravioli all that often.
