Golden Grain Mission Florentine Lasagna

Via Steph's request, I will be posting some recipes that I have made and liked over here :) I will start printing out these recipes for my own recipe cookbook binder...thingy. And also own my cooking/baking skills at the same time. So enjoy, and here is the official part one, as it were.

I saw this recipe on the box of lasagna noodles a while ago, and knew I had to make it, so I made it tonight :)


Florentine Lasagna

15 Min Prep Time - 40 Min Cook Time - Serves 6

Ingredients:

8ox (1/2 pkg) Lasagna Noodles
1 Container (15 oz) Ricotta Cheese
2 Cups shredded fresh Spinach Leaves
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Jar (26 oz) Spaghetti Sauce
2 Cups (8 oz) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Directions:

Preheat over to 400 degrees F.
Cook and drain pasta according to package directions
In bowl, combine ricotta, spinach, eggs, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste
Spread 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce in 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
Layer with 3 lasagna noodles, half of ricotta, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, and 1/2 of sauce.
Repeat layers once.
Top with remaining lasagna, sauce, and mozzarella.
Bake uncovered in oven for 35 to 40 minutes.





Well, one's own pictures never look as good as the actual pictures on the recipe, do they? :P (How do they make them so pretty and colorful, I wonder?)
But the dish was 1) Easy to make (much easier than the other veggie lasagna that I tried, which I didn't care for as much as I hoped taste wise either) 2) Smelled so good while it was baking 3) Was tasty.
We've never been a big lasagna eating family, but this one is good, and uncomplicated. And very festive with it's yellow cheesy, red, and green combo. Mozzarella cheese is always good, I say. I think I'll defiantly make this one again.
