Spinach Lasagna
Due to an injury, I'm not as active as I used to be and can't burn off the calories. Because I love Italian food, one of the first things I looked for was a low-fat lasagna. This meatless recipe is not only good, it's good for you. —E. Marie Goetz, Morgantown, Kentucky

Reviews
I really enjoyed this recipe. My husband not so much, but I'm keeping it around anyway as a possible pot luck dish or I may cook myself up a half recipe every now and again.
My vegetarian kids love this. My carnivores don't mind it, either.
Very good vegetarian lasagna. It's a nice change of pace from the typical veggie lasagna with white sauce.
I'm a vegetarian and for recipes like this I use meatless burger, its in the vegi isle or the vegi frozen section at the supermarket
This is a very good recipe after a couple of minor changes. I suggest using your favorite spaghetti sauce (meatless marinara) in place of the plain tomato sauce, as it will add the missing seasoning others mentioned- and use a bit more of the sauce between layers to keep the finished lasagna from being as dry, also pouring some sauce over the top layer of noodles before adding the final mozzarella mixture (use all the ricotta mix between layers, mozz only on top). Delizioso!
I made this receipe but had to modify as the 3rd part of instructions did not include when to add the tomato sauce. I had fresh spinach and boiled it for 4 seconds dropped in ice water for 1 minute then drained very well (could use a tea towel) then cut it up before adding to the other ingredients. Also used 2 whole eggs and 1 carton of ricotta cheese and half small container of small curd cottage cheese. Very tasty
make your own tomato sauce and it's really good. Don't ever substitute cottage cheese for the ricotta however. That makes it high school cafeteria lasagne
I found it a little dry. Maybe more sauce would be beneficial. Also didn't have enough flavour for my husband.
I made this recipe tonight and it was very good. I did add some Italian seasoning, as it seemed short on seasonings. Also added some onion and mushrooms, which I sauteed in a dab of olive oil first , then just added to the sauce. Also I thought it would have been better with cottage cheese, the ricotta was a bit dry Otherwise it was excellent!!
i used a 26 oz.jar of ragu and one 8 oz can of tomato sauce instead of the 2 cans of tomato sauce.
