In my version of lasagna I've substituted Chicken sausage, which is lower in fat and calories, for the Italian sausage. Really yummy! I buy this sausage at Sam's club. You may also be able to find at your local butcher/meat dept.

You can cook the sauce as long as you like to distribute the seasonings and flavor. But my family usually can't wait for me to cook it down all day, so my version has less water and cooks up fast! If you choose to cook your sauce longer, you may need to add additional water.

The original recipe for this was about 478 calories!! I just let you have desert!

Just to clarify for the questions below:
First, YES the cream cheese is figured into the totals...if you use FULL FAT cream cheese, the fat content will be considerably higher. But low fat cream cheese really takes the fat down.

Second, I haven't ever tried it with regular Italian dressing...let me know how it turns out!

Third, I HIGHLY recommend using the low setting for cooking...it allows the juices from the chicken to really seep into the dressing.
