I made some modifications to the original recipe, I cut out 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. I also noticed that no where in the instructions does it say where the spinach should be layered in. I put the spinach right before the marinara, but I recommend doing it after the zucchini and before the tomatoes. As a tip, add about half of the oregano in the recipe and put half of it in while you are layering. The recipe is great, but the oregano was overwhelming and I had to wing it a few times. Great healthy alternative to regular lasagna.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of 2 young kids, one of which is picky. I came to the 'Zaar looking for new ways to prepare foods to try and get my family to eat healthier. I am proud to say both my picky one and my picky husband are eating a lot more vegtables and liking them!
I love to collect cookbooks (don't we all) because I am always on the hunt for yummy new recipes. When I find a recipe I love, it goes on a 4x6 card and into my recipe box for future use. Since I like trying new things, the recipe has to be pretty special for me to hang on to it. I would say a good 90% of what I make I like, but just not enough for it to be THE recipe. I am generally not a picky eater, I like most things, but am just always on the look out for something different.
I want us to eat healthier and have been preparing healthier foods, but we do enjoy the occasional bad meal. :) I am trying to do a couple all veggie dinners each week, a couple nights of fish, and the rest of the week is a toss up with chicken filling in the majority of the time.
