Modifications for my non-dieting hubby:

I make this dinner in a casserole dish that has a divider in the middle. So my hubby can have regular noodles while I have the healthy version. Or you can make it in 2 different pans. I also use spicy pasta sauce and add red pepper flakes to his.

​

​

*If you would like to make the WHOLE dish (4 servings) plan complaint you can make it in one dish and​ use:

• 2 zucchini, 4 cups (2 greens pp)​

• 1 cup Rao's Marinara Sauce (1 green pp)

Then this part of the recipe is not needed:

• for hubby: 1/2 cup Spicy pasta sauce
• for hubby: 4 no-boil Lasagna noodles
