Lasagna Skillet

This recipe is great for those who are trying to clean up their diet, lose weight & count macronutrients (even those on the 21 day fix, which is very popular). Italian food is one of my favorites, but it can be so heavy and full of fat and carbs. I love pizza and I love lasagna, but it isn't good for the figure ALL the time (moderation is key). This is super easy and delicious. This makes 6 servings.
