I asked my darling husband to select the recipe for Meatless Monday. He made a beeline to one of his favorite cookbooks, Chris Carmichael’s Eat Right to Train Right. After considering a few recipes, he chose the Leafy Spinach Lasagna. And an excellent choice it was!
The recipe calls for fat-free cottage cheese and part-skim mozzarella, but I opted for regular. I mean, shouldn’t we get some reward for going meatless? Next time, I’ll add some mushrooms and perhaps try it with goat cheese. Mmm…
Join me tomorrow as I attempt to catch up on my Tuesdays With Dorie posts. I’ll have something for everyone – chocolate, mint, coconut, walnuts, toffee. Not all together mind you. Until then…

My darling significant other is a vegetarian and I’m always on the look out for new ideas. This looks divine! I grew up on the Gulf Coast…glad I found you!

Thanks! Your vegetable lasagna sounds great! I haven’t cooked with eggplant much, but I’ll have to give your recipe a try.

I agree in going full-fat if you’re going meatless 🙂 You can’t ALWAYS be good. This looks great!

lasagna recipe
I’ve tried spinach lasagna and although I’m hesitant at first, I’m glad my kids love it. I got worried with the green bits, you know how kids are with veggies, but surprisingly they don’t even question what it is! I just told them we’re having lasagna for dinner. And maybe because the entire house smells like lasagna that’s why they never really bothered about the greens, lol! All they care about is that, it’s lasagna!

Thanks! Yeah, you can sneak lots of healthy stuff in as long as it’s covered with pasta and cheese. 🙂 The aroma of homemade lasagna is hard to beat. Thanks for commenting!
