| Anyone have a good, but easy, recipe for a spinach or other vegetarian lasagna? |
| I use epicurious to find all my recipes now and sort by fork level. It is free and easy to use. |
| Try foodnetwork or the rachel ray website. I have a great recipe but it is for the crockpot. |

Off the top of my head. Let me check proportions at home and I'll update, but it's wonderful:
Spinach and Mushroom Lasagna White sauce: 1 cup milk 1 16 ounce tub ricotta cheese (low fat if you want) 1/4 cup flour 1/4 cup diced onions a few cloves of garlic (to taste), minced or mashed a 1/4 teaspoon thyme Olive oil Veggies: 1 bag baby spinach Fresh mushrooms, sliced Noodles: 9 cooked lasagna noodles Cheese: 1 bag of shredded cheese of choice. Mozarella and light cheddar are good. Directions: Heat dutch oven (or whatever those large, 6 quart cooking pots are) over medium-high heat. Poura tablespoon or so of olive oil in. Add onion, garlic, thyme. Sauté for a few minutes. Add milk, ricotta, and flour. Salt and pepper to taste. Add veggies of your choice (one bag baby spinach, some fresh mushrooms). Heat through. In a 9x14 glass baking dish, layer 3 noodles, then some white sauce with veggies, then sprinkle cheese. Repeat twice more. I sprinkle the top with extra dried thyme. Bake 40 minutes at 350, uncovered. Let rest 5 minutes, cut and serve. Freezes and reheats very well. |

I like to make life as easy as possible.
Lasagna 1. Mix 1 container of ricotta w/ 2 eggs in a bowl. 2. Saute spinach and any other veggies. 3. Pour marinara sauce into bottom of pan. 4. Layer no-bake lasagna noodles across. 5. Spread half cheese mixture on top. 6. Spread half of veggies on top. 7. Spread sauce on top. 8. Repeat steps 4-7. 9. Top with mozz cheese. Bake covered until cheese is melty. Uncover and back for 5-10 more mins until crispy/brown or until desired doneness. Enjoy! |
| I actually use regular, not no-cook, noodles, but I make the lasagna at least several hours before I bake it (sometimes 12 hours), and use extra sauce, so the noodles have time to absorb the sauce and moisten. |
