I make a spinach and ricotta lasagne similar to the one below. (I don't follow a recipe and I make the tomato pasta sauce myself)

    20 lasagna noodles
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
    1 cup chopped onion
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    2 cups fresh spinach
    3 cups ricotta cheese
    2/3 cup grated Sharp cheese

    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 egg
    3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    3 cups tomato pasta sauce
    1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Bill, do you place the pasta in the dish uncooked to do your version or do you cook it first?

Hi Al, I sometimes make my own, but usually I use Latina fresh pasta sheets.
They are not dried so I place them straight in the dish and are found in the refrigerated section of our supermarkets.
