I wanted to make a lasagna but switch it up a bit, so say hello to this delicious chicken & bacon alfredo lasagna. I made the sauce from scratch and it is so good. I think this one will be a new favorite in my house, and my husband took the left overs to work for the guys to enjoy, it got two thumbs up! Makes 9 servings at 7 freestyle smart points each.

Tried this recipe?Mention @drizzlemeskinny or tag #drizzlemeskinny!
Made this last night and it turned out really good!!! I added some more seasoning and also used whole wheat lasagna. I also thickened the sauce some. It was 9p when I put the recipe in the WW builder but worth it!!!
Sounds awesome, I am so glad you enjoyed it, I know it is one of my higher point meals but like you said, so worth it 🙂
What did u put in the sauce to thicken it?
I simply used the ingredients listed
This may be a dumb questions but what is light fresh cream?
Like a table cream (coffee cream)
Would half and half work? I couldn’t find any cream that was light.
Yes absolutely 🙂
Have you ever just calculated the Alfredo sauce part? Looks amazing to serve with pasta or zucchini
No I haven’t but I bet it would be simple enough to figure out on the WW app maybe?
I’ll try! Going to make with zoodles tonight. Will keep you posted so for calculated 27 for sauce will dive into it! Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it 🙂
How do you reframe from going back for more?!?!??
🙂 well I think that question can be asked on anything you find delicious, it is all about self control .. It can be done 🙂
