Kraft Kitchens Tips
We've recreated this Italian classic using better-for-you ingredients to save you 140 calories and 15g of fat, including 6g of sat fat per serving. We substituted part-skim ricotta and KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese. Then, we added spinach and mushrooms to the filling so we didn't need as much cheese.


Substitute
Substitute Cottage Cheese for the ricotta cheese and

Kraft 100% Grated Romano Cheese for the Parmesan cheese.
