This is delicious. We have eaten it weekly since Christmas although I can only find one market in my city that sells broccoli rabe.

I am not a lasagna fan, but was intrigued by the addition of the bechamel and so wanted to try this. I now know that's the ticket! Excellent taste, and the bechamel means less acidic tomato sauce in the dish, a real plus in my books. The only change I made was to use mushrooms instead of spinach. And because this is easy, I'll be making lasagna more often too. I used fresh lasagna noodles. Highly recommended.

It took a little time but well worth the work. I have to say that the next day it was so much better. The next time I would add some spice to the meat layer.

Lasagna not heavy with tomatoe sauce.
We especially liked the addition of sauce to bechamel sauce. Accepted also by 6 year old grandson.

This is a very tasty recipe but I made some changes that made it less work. First I make it the night before and use hard noodles, instead of cooking them. I put the sauce down, and make sure it is completely covering the bottom of the pan, and then I make sure that the sauce goes on top of each set of noodles, layering the spinach, meat, cheeses etc. I also go around the edges of the top with sauce, if I run out of the bachamel sauce then I just put some spaghetti sauce...to make sure it seeps down and touches all the noodles. By dinner the next day the noodles are soft and I just pop it into the oven.

I also add a thick layer of cheese, a 4 cheese/Italian blend followed by the mozarella and then gently use a spatula to flatten the top down.

I cover and put in the frig over night. Make sure the top is completely covered.

For the tomato sauce I used Paul Newman's Basil instead of making it from scratch.

I was just in the mood for a good Italian Lasagna without working myself to death.

It turned out beautifully with crusty bread and a salad.

Out of all the different lasagnas you may make in your lifetime, this one WILL BE the best or second to the best --- without a doubt! And, this recipe will put you to work. It IS time consuming. But, sooo worth it! And, it's all about the sauce!

This was a great lasagna. My whole family loved it. I think the next time I make it I will cut down on the spinach. It seemed to overpower the dish(for me.It was easy to make and I will make it again. The no cook lasagna noodles can be found in your grocery store. "Barilla" makes them. They are great. Thanks for all the good recipes.

Would have enjoyed this dish more if I had added more salt, particularly to the spinach layer. Perhaps spicy sausage would have been a good fix too. I would recommend Delverde no boil lasagne noodles, a little pricey but worth the low maintenance. I think they are the same exact ones she uses on the show. They are large and square and you use 2 pieces per layer. You will only use half of the package preparing this dish.
