he biggest change in cui-
sine on cruise ships in the
90s is a more healthy ap-
proach to the preparation
of food served to passengers," said
Schonleiter Manfred, Executive
Chef of Costa Cruise Lines MV
Costa Allegra.
Chef Manfred, 40, has been a
chef at sea for the past 14 years,
preparing menus for Holland
America and Royal Caribbean
passengers before joining Costa
Cruise Lines four years ago.
Instead of butter, margarine
is used in many of the recipes at
sea. Spices are used to enhance
flavor instead of sugar and
sauces are generally lighter
in calories and texture.
The ship's menu also in-
cludes many broiled selec-
tions without heavy sauces.
Below are some health-
ful pasta recipes for you to
try at home:

cording to directions on the pack-
age. Drain and put into a serving
bowl.
In a nonstick skillet, heat oil.
Saute garlic, carrots and celery
until tender, approximately 5
minutes. Add onions and saute
for one minute. Add salmon and
wine. Simmer for 2 minutes,
turning fish occasionally.
Add tomato sauce and milk.
Simmer until salmon is cooked,

THREE CHEESE
LASAGNA

approximately 2 minutes, stir-
ring often. Add the dill. Pour over
pasta and gently toss.
Serves four to six.

3/4 pound ricotta cheese
1/3 pound thinly sliced or
crumbled mozzarella cheese
1/2 pound parmesan cheese
3/4 pound lasagna noodles
8 ounces tomato sauce

Cook lasagna noodles in salted
water, almost to the "al dente"
stage, drain, and separate the
lasagna strips.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In each of two 13 x 9 x 2 inch
baking dishes, spread a thin lay-
er of the sauce, then a layer of
pasta. Cover with a sprinkling of
the three cheeses. Spoon anoth-
er layer of sauce, then add an-
other layer of pasta placed
crisscross, and another layer of
cheese. Continue to build the lay-
ers, keeping enough sauce to cov-
er the final layer of pasta, and
enough parmesan cheese to dust
the top. Bake for about 35 to 40
minutes. Allow the lasagna to
stand briefly before cutting and
serve.
Serves four.
