Introduction

I hosted a Pampered Chef party and we made this fun twist on lasagne. I built this recipe using lower fat items to reduce the overall calories. Still very YUMMY! This can be assembled up to one night in advance. Prepare through Step 2, cover and refigerate. When ready to serve, let stand at room temp for 15 minutes then microwave on high 21-23 minutes. Spicy enchillada suace can be used to more kick too! I hosted a Pampered Chef party and we made this fun twist on lasagne. I built this recipe using lower fat items to reduce the overall calories.
