Baked Italian Pasta Casserole

"This is an easy, cheap, lasagna-style pasta dish. My kids make it on their cooking night. Use any non-string pasta - macaroni, small shells, penne, etc. Use ground turkey and low fat cheeses to make more healthful. If I have time, I will saute onion, mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini or something else on hand with the meat and add to the sauce."

I went to culinary school and am really focusing my culinary attention on losing weight and keeping it off! I am always looking for great ways to tweak recipes to make them low cal/low carb.
