Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Measuring chopped garlic from a jar shortcuts prep time. Look for it in the produce section.

Check the doneness of the pasta before the minimum time to avoid overcooking.

This is one of our new favorites! I couldn't find mini lasagna noodles so I used campanelle. It's quick,easy and yummy!

This was SO delicious! I couldn't find the mini lasagna noodles either, so I substituted with little bowties. It was perfect and will definitely be a repeat in our house.

This sounds great. I recently made a vegetarian <a href="http://www.paintsandpans.com/2012/04/24/healthy-skillet-lasagna/">skillet lasagna</a> that was delicious too! It has fewer calories, which is nice.
