I made this tonight - it's in the oven right now! Can't wait to try it, as I'm on the South Beach diet and really wanted to do a dinner that wasn't just the old 'meat with a side of veggies' dish.

Just an update - we LOVED the lasagna. Even my husband did, and he was pretty sceptical of the eggplant-as-noodles substitution. We'll definitely make it again.
