1. How big is the serving and much exactly is the carb, fat and protein in each serving? Thanks for your help.

2. Is this something i can prepare in the morning, refrigerate all day, and bake in the evening..or will that make the eggplant soggy?

1. I absolutely loved this the flavour was perfect it tasted just like real lasagna. I am diabetic and can't have pasta anymore but I love lasagna and this is perfect for me. I didn't use the wine and for the meat I used ground beef. I think I made my eggplant a bit too thin and it almost melted away in the dish while cooking that's why it looks a bit muddled in the picture but the flavour was fantastic I will be making this again. I got one large dish and a smaller one and that was me cutting the recipe by half it's a great recipe for putting one in the freezer for an other day when I am short of time. Thank you so much for posting. Made for on tour with the diabetic forum. June 2011

2. I decided to make this as I am trying to cut back on carbs. It was very tasty however I think next time I'll opt to use the red wine in lieu of the vodka as I thought the sauce was a tad bitter. When we had left-overs the next night I ended up adding jarred spaghetti sauce hoping to get rid of some of the bitter taste, it was good!

3. The taste was good but it was way too much meat sauce and cheese to fit a 9x13 dish pan. There is just no way everything was going to fit without overflowing. The meat sauce was too watery with all the tomato sauce and tomato. Are we supposed to drain the juices before layering them? I like the taste but the recipe is not well written. Need to be more specific.

4. This was an amazing dish for me. I have been soo restricted on what I can eat, nothing was appealing to me, I looked at this and though, "Might not b worth the effort" boy was I wrong! But I sure do disagree with 15 min prep lol or else I am extremely slow lol

5. I'm doing Atkins, and this really cured my Lasagna cravings! Wonderful! I added 1 tsp Splenda to the sauce to cut the heartburn. Also threw in a can of tomato paste to thicken the sauce up. I didn't have fresh garlic, so I sprinkled garlic salt on the eggplant "noodles" instead of salt & pepper, and also added garlic powder to the sauce. Thanx for sharing! This will help keep me honest to my diet!

2. -Strain the fat from the meat/onions BEFORE adding anything else to the pot -Use a Mandoline to thin slice the eggplant very thin...after baking for 5 mins, they are nearly the same width as actual lasagna noodles -Use 3 cups ricotta -Add pepper jack or 3 alarm cheese wheel from Sam's Club in your layers -Just realized I left out pepperoni...next time!!!!! -Use kale instead of spinach

3. increase the Ricotta cheese to 3-cups, but also drain it to remove excess water

4. Lovely, although I did alter a tiny bit. I added two tablespoons of tomato paste and 1 tablespoon of sugar. And one teaspoon of mixed spice. - my family loved it! :))

5. Although, VERY Delicious!!! I have to give 4 Stars, because I changed the recipe a bit.First, I used my veggetti and ribbon cut the eggplants (btw, I used 2 for 4 Servings), which was quicker than handcutting. I omitted the mushrooms (my family likes them, but I'm not a fan of them).I used Red "Cooking" Wine and not regular wine (didn't have any but I'm sure it would've came out just as delicious, if not even better). Instead of, Green Onions, I used Chopped Green Peppers. I didn't measure the Mozzarella nor the Parmesan nor did I put in with the Cheese mixture. When I was putting together I placed them as layers.The final thing... I also used Oven Baked Ready Lasagna Noodles as part of my layers (my Hubby wanted the "Lasagna" look to it). I still baked the dish at 375°, cooked it in 30 mins. with another 15 mins of having to slightly brown top cheese (time to cook was still less than normal time).After ALL of this...VOILA!!! My Family and I REALLY enjoyed this. They loved it and were going back for more. And, I have to say, the next day's leftover was even better ;-)Thank you for the Recipe :-D
