Weight Watchers Lasagna can still be a comfort food in your meal plan rotation! The lasagna recipe contains zucchini but still uses traditional noodles and LOWER in points when it comes to traditional pasta dishes!
Lasagna is one of those dishes you really miss when you go on a diet. Or, at least I do. Fortunately for us, Weight Watchers is NOT a diet! It's a lifestyle and an awesome one at that because you can eat anything you want, as long as you watch portions and count your points! This Weight Watchers Lasagna will remind you why you chose Weight Watchers instead of a more restrictive diet. Yum!
Point values may vary depending on how lean your meat is, scroll to the bottom for Points information
