Delicious! Just finished it for dinner; my husband and I both give it an A.

Question – for #6, do we put the 3 pieces of cheese, 1 TBSP basil, 3-4 spinach leaves and 2 TBSP tomato mixture on each noodle? So for the three noodles that fit perfectly side by side, each noodle would get that “treatment?”

And are you putting anything on the top noodle besides the shredded cheese? I didn’t, but have a feeling you did. : ) Regardless, fresh and delicious. Thank you.

(#6 Cover noodles with a layer of sliced fresh mozzarella cheese about 3 pieces per noodle. Top cheese layer with some chopped basil about 1 tablespoon and then add about 3-4 spinach leaves over basil and finally top with about 2 tablespoons of the tomato mixture. Then repeat this process with the remaining noodles. Last layer should be topped with noodles and then covered with the 1/3 cup of shredded mozzarella.)

Nicole–You can get away and eat about 3 cups of raw spinach at a sitting or maybe even more…but the rationale for using just a little was because using fresh spinach tends to add liquid to the dish and you don’t want a soggy lasagna. Alternatively, you could cook spinach and drain it –and then add it to the recipe. BUT I did like the way it cooked ‘al dente’ when I added it fresh. So..it’s up to you. 🙂

Hi Kate, thanks for sharing this recipe. I follow a low FODMAP diet and haven’t eaten lasagne for ages so I can’t wait to try this. I wondered if you could explain why you should ‘not overdo the spinach’? Is it because it affects the lasagne recipe, or is it from a FODMAP perspective? I eat quite a lot of spinach – maybe a handful in a morning smoothie and a handful to go with lunch as I assumed it was low FODMAP. Thanks for your help.
