Veggie Meals Made Easy

This is a great lasagna recipe for one of those meatless meals tonight.

I love the classic lasagna dish full of ground beef and oodles of cheese but as we embraced a veggie lifestyle to include meatless substitutions my mom found this vegetarian lasagna recipe and we have enjoyed it much more than the traditional lasagna.

This spinach lasagna is so easy and full of flavor. For the meat eaters a pound of sausage can be included in if desired but our family prefers it prepared as it without any meat.

Spinach Lasagna

Serves: 8

Ingredients:

• 12 oz. lasagna noodles
• 10 oz. frozen spinach, chopped
• 1 jar Alfredo sauce
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 15 oz. cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions:

Soak the lasagna noodles in hot water for 15 minutes. Meanwhile mix spinach, Alfredo sauce, salt and pepper in a bowl. In a separate bowl combine egg, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese and mix well. Drain noodles. In an un-greased 13×9x2 inch baking dish layer a third of the spinach mixture, then noodles and finally cheese mixture and repeat layers twice. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.

**For those wanting to include meat, you can cook 1 lb of sausage then add into the spinach, Alfredo mixture and then follow the lasagna recipe as indicated above.
