Wish Upon A Dish: Spinach Artichoke Lasagna

Spinach Artichoke Lasagna

What started out as a simple recipe ended up being an amalgamation of left-overs and a tweak here & a tweak there......this is what came out of the oven after the first baking.


I let it set for 30mins, then sprinkled mozzarella and Parmigiana Reggiano cheese on it. I will bake it right before serving it to brown the cheese.


Baked for another 20mins.


It was really ooey gooey and GOOD!!!


I do this all the time. I take a recipe and add things and never write it down and then I can't remember it and sometimes I would love to enter them in a contest.
This time I wrote it down but need to taste it before I embarrass myself.
