ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and calories while still providing creaminess.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner and healthier, while ground pork is often less expensive.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat, while cheddar is often more affordable.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option, while pecorino is often less costly.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

In a large measuring cup or bowl, combine 32 oz of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of garlic and herb seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning; mix well.

Spread a layer of Prego tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish.

Layer lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture, then more sauce, and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Repeat the layering process until the dish is filled, ensuring sauce is always near the noodles.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet to catch any overflow.

Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes.

Remove the foil for the last few minutes of baking to allow the top to become cheesy and brown.
