Lasanga is an Italian dish consisting of pasta sheets baked with meat or vegetables and a cheese sauce.
I made a healthy version of lasanga made with kidney beans,vegetables like eggplant and bell peppers. I substituted cheese sauce with a sauce made with hung curd, egg and fresh herbs. Also used healthy cheddar cheese to make the lasanga tasty and flavourful.
