Spinach Lasagna (Southern Living 1979)

Kevin picked this recipe for us to try, and our supper club acted as guinea pigs again for a Southern Living 1979 recipe. I didn't change much from this recipe.  I was a bit nervous to not cook the lasagna noodles before baking the lasagna, but I decided I'd follow the directions as written. 

And I'm so glad I did.  This was very good.  I would definitely make it again - on a weekend, though. Hands-on preparation time was minimal, but having to bake it for an hour and 15 minutes and then sit for 15 minutes does not make it a very practical weeknight dinner.

Here are the few things I did change:
Spinach Lasagna
2 cups low fat small-curd cottage cheese
1-1/2 cups 2% milk mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 (10-oz) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1/4 t salt
1/8 t pepper
3/4 t oregano
1 23.8 oz jar Light Ragu No Sugar Added Tomato and Basil Spaghetti Sauce
9 lasagna noodles, uncooked (Kevin chose the "regular" noodles; next time I'll use wheat)
1 cup water

But then I followed the instructions below.

It was a pretty lasagna with the red and the green.

Roo had three plates!  I was very glad that I let her eat without her shirt, though.
There were NO leftovers, so I think I can safely say this was a success!

  1. It sounds great and looks delicious. Wait, did Roo lick her plate? Talk about a recommendation!
