Lovely flavor. This recipe is a keeper. I had some whole wheat lasagna noodles sitting in the cupboard and looked for a recipe to use them. So glad I tried this one. The slow roasting of the tomatoes made the sauce so flavorful and loved the addition of the spinach. Just lovely. Pros: Healthy with the addition of the spinach and fresh tomatoes
My husband's favorite I have made plenty of lasagnas over the years but in my quest for a go-to recipe for meatless Monday I stumbled upon this. My husband is a type-1 diabetic but unfortunately he hates wheat pasta. Well I made this with the wheat noodles and he said it was the best I had ever made. The only issue I have is it has you put two cups of sauce in the bottom of the pan and that didn't leave enough for the top for me. I would next time just put one cup of sauce in the bottom so I can make sure the noodles get thoroughly covered. Pros: Few ingredients tons of spinach no chopping no cooking noodles separately Cons: Makes not quite enough sauce
fantastic! I did a couple things different.I added the onion and couple unpeeled garlic cloves with the tomatoes.The onions carmalized along with the tomatoes and it takes the bite out of the garlic.I also added shredded carrot and zucchini.Just cooked them in the pan like you would the onion.When the moisture was cooked out I added the tomato paste and cooked it a few minutes.I also pulsed the tomato/onion/garlic in the food processor a few times.Faster and less messy than chopping. A fantastic lasagna recipe.Tastes great and is actually good for you. Pros: great tasting easy and guilt free.
addendum Meant to give the recipe 5 stars in my previous review. Also: I think another tester may have used frozen spinach because the fresh baby spinach is perfect.
Absolutely Delicious I love this dish!! It is not as heavy as traditional meat lasagna. It is so worth the time to roast the tomatos.
Fantastic Meatless Lasagna I have now made this lasagna several times. When I recently made it for guests they raved about it and wanted the recipe. I have an abundance of tomatoes in my garden this year so I roasted them for this recipe and put them in freezer bags in the amount needed. That way when I make the lasagna in the winter I will already have the sauce ready to go plus I won't be purchasing expensive out-of-the-country tomatoes in the winter. It's a win-win. I have added thinly-sliced zucchini's to the recipe on top of the spinach and this also goes well with the tomato and cheese. I suppose mushrooms would also be great. Make this once and I guarantee you will be sold! Pros: Easy Delicious Hit with Family & Friends Cons: Buying Fresh Tomatoes in the Winter Can Be Expensive
Delicious This is a perfect lasagna recipe for those of us who have thought it was too fattening meaty and unhealthy... or pedestrian. This combines a deeply flavored tomato sauce with fresh spinach (note: it takes TWO containers of fresh baby spinach) and cheese. You won't miss the meat for a minute nor will the reduced cheeses interfere. A treat. Pros: Healthy return to lasagna Cons: None
I agree the slow-roasted tomato sauce was wonderful but 10 oz of baby spinach made the lasagna very watery and the spinach did not get cooked. I will not be making this dish again.
