Last month we had a lot of things to cook for. Our sweet friends, Scott and Katie, had their little boy Mason, a dear friend lost his mom, and I was going out of town and the hubby needed to be fed. So I figured I would go ahead and pre-make three spinach lasagnas. It was super easy to throw them together and pop them in the freezer until I was ready to cook them.
Overall this is a great time saver. If you are making a dish for a friend, go ahead and cook one for yourself too!
Little Mason is so sweet and precious. I was grateful for all the time we got to spend with him and his wonderful family!
My hubby looks like a natural
Big yawn!
Mason says, "Oh dear, another admirer."
"I'm tired."
Proud dad, Scott!
This recipe is from my wonderful mother-in-law. I tried one batch with gluten free noodles. Not good! Maybe I will try a different brand next time. My picky husband was a trooper and ate maybe two servings of it, but decided he really didn't like the gluten free noodles either. The regular noodles got great reviews by everyone who tried it!
Spinach Lasagna
Source: My mother-in law
Ingredients:
- 1 box of oven ready lasagna noodles
- 1 jar spaghetti sauce
- 1 15 oz. container of Ricotta cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 boxes frozen cream spinach (cooked to package instructions-I did it in the microwave)
Directions:
In a 9x13 pan layer with sauce on the bottom, noodles, ricotta cheese, spinach, mozzarella cheese, and continue with the layers until you run out of ingredients or fill up your pan. Top with Parmesan cheese. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15 minutes. Let sit 10-15 minutes.
Uhhh....YUMMMM!!!! This sounds scrumptious! I am not a huge fan of regular lasagna but I think the spinach sounds so much better! I will definitely give this one a try soon (especially now that I am at home more).
ReplyDeleteMason is precious! I know Scott and Katie must be so happy to have such a cutie.
