Cheesy Lasagna

Today, I have an easy cheesy lasagna recipe for ya. The easy part of this lasagna is that you don’t have to cook the noodles. No, you aren’t using those special no cook noodles to make it, just regular old lasagna noodles. The sauce provides enough liquid to cook the noodles for ya while it bakes. So easy peasy.
I discovered this recipe years ago in a betty Crocker magazine I picked up at the check out like. I happened to be doing Weight Watchers at the time, so I was wanting a cookbook that gave the nutritional value of recipes. One serving of this lasagna is 345 calories. It worked out to be 8 points on the old program which really wasn’t bad for lasagna.
