Wow! Is there anything Amy CAN'T do in the lasagna arena?! Like all of her lasagna offerings, this one is loaded with delicious tomato sauce, veggies, and cheeses. It's just got around half the salt. GO, AMY!!!!


SHOCKER TIME


Look away if you don't wanna be bummed out. But keep reading if you need to be clued in!




An average serving of traditional lasagna has about 870 calories and 50g fat. ACK!




Macaroni Grill's Lasagna Bolognese falls below the average with 630 calories and 40g fat... which still isn't terrific. 




Olive Garden's Lasagna Classico dinner clocks in at 850 calories and 47g fat. But the chain's Lasagna Primavera with Grilled Chicken is better, with 530 calories and 20g fat.




Mom's Lasagna at Maggiano's Little Italy tips the scales at OVER A THOUSAND calories and around SEVENTY grams of fat per slab! ACK AGAIN.




Lesson learned? When it comes to enjoying lasagna sans guilt, you'll probably wanna stick with the frozen finds above and the recipes below!
