Made it as written. Only exception: added 1/2 chpped onion and less spinach. Husband raved about it. It's the same as the lasagna I always make except for the exclusion of the Italian sausage..maybe that's the difference:) Also, it sat for about 30min before eating b/c hubby wasn't home yet. I think that helped the flavors really meld. Thanks! Hubby made it a keeper.

I have been a Central Illinois resident all my life.
My hobbies include fishing with my husband, reading, counted cross stitch, and of course, cooking (especially baking)!
I currently work in an office, behind a desk, pushing paper. My dream would be to open my own bakery.
Spending time in the kitchen is very relaxing to me, and it keeps me connected to my domestic side!
