  • If using regular lasagna noodles, cook as directed on package.
  • Combine cheese& eggs; mix together well.
  • Lightly spray baking dish with vegetable spray such as Pam.

  1. I've made this quite a few times over the past few years, just now getting around to rating it. I love this recipe. Slightly different than the usual and very good!
     
  2. Very good Lasagna. I cooked this several weeks ago and it was well received. I was a little worried about using the spinach because my husband says he doesn't like it but he ate every bite. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
     
  3. This was a really good lasagne recipe. I was pleasantly suprised by the flavor of the Classico sauces. I made this recipe without the wine or sugar. I used ground beef and the sun-dried tomato alfredo sauce. Next time I will used ground pork and try the wine and sugar in the marinara. I'm really impressed with how easy it was to throw together, but I thought that it needed some more flavor. I'll probably add some onion to the meat and some fresh parsley and oregano to the cheese mixture. Thank you for posting a recipe that is so quick and has so many possiblities. I will be passing this one along.
     
  4. Didn't know there are "no cook" lasagne noodles. I've been using the original "cook before you use" type, choosing the "no pre-cook option" directions on the box without precooking. Just add more liquid (usually in the form of water) as the noodles will absorb some of the liquid in the sauce while cooking in the oven.
