I am constantly looking for quick, easy, and good vegetarian recipes. I got this recipe from Campbell's Kitchen. Assembling this lasagna is quick and easy. The original recipe uses regular lasagna noodles, I use whole wheat. When cooking whole wheat pasta or noodles, you may want to add a few more minutes to the cooking time. I did not precook the whole wheat lasagna noodles and they turned out great. Here is the easy spinach lasagna recipe with my changes.Spinach Lasagna
