I’m seeing a lot of lasagna today! I bought a magazine featuring a few different lasagna ideas and now I see yours, which I have to say sounds delicious. Spinach and mushrooms a great idea.
Yummy! It’s a favorite in my house :)
Lasagna keeps popping up, but I can never see enough of it. Everybody has a different take and yours sounds delicious! Spinach and mushrooms sounds like a great flavor
sounds wonderful! I always like spinach lasagna
I normally make the beef one and would try to put as much veg in as possible. In other word, I would waste a lot of time doing the chopping job. However, I guess next time I should try your method.
Hi Margot…this sounds delicious. Always on the prowl for veggie options. This one is perfectly balanced. Am bookmarking it…YUM!!
I made one vegetarian lasagna and I used eggplants. Anyway I love spinach and mushroom
This is just too good to pass up: it’s now dinner tonight :)
