HEALTH & BENEFITS

While lasagna is not particularly healthy, it does provide a good source of protein and can be a good way to sneak in some vegetables.
Tomatoes, which are used in the spaghetti sauce, are a good source of lycopene, which has been linked to reducing the risk of certain types of cancer.
Ricotta cheese is also a good source of calcium, which is important for strong bones and teeth.
