Diet lasagna with lavash
12 servings
90 minutes
Dietary lasagna with lavash is a light interpretation of the classic Italian dish, adapted for those who watch their diet. Instead of traditional pasta sheets, Armenian lavash is used, making the dish airy and tender. Aromatic mushrooms, juicy chicken mince, and tomato paste create a rich flavor complemented by creamy sauce and melted hard cheese. The origins of lasagna trace back to Medieval Italy where it was layered with various fillings. This version retains the multilayered structure but with lighter ingredients, making it ideal for everyday meals. The dish turns out juicy with a harmonious blend of creamy texture and mushroom notes, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
