| I was in love with the Sara Lee vegetable lasagna I used to buy at their outlet stores (which sadly are no more). Sara Lee has been split up, and I think will be making only desserts from now on; at least so I inferred from their website. The lasagna was mostly spinach, but some other vegetables too. All cut small, you could see a bit of carrot and maybe some yellow squash. I never analyzed it, now I wish I had. It also used a creamy sauce (probably a cheesy white sauce) in between the layers, rather than a tomato sauce. The creamy sauce went so much better with the flavor of the spinach than tomato sauce does. Topping it all was a combination of yellow and white cheeses. I have tried other vegetable lasagnas, and there is no comparison. Everything I can find is tomato based, and the spinach is overwhelmed. (Trader Joes, and all the normal frozen brands) I would love to find a version of this to make. Thanks so much for your help. |

| try googling vegetarian, spinach, or vegetable lasagne with white sauce or alfredo sauce. There seems to be some fantastic ones out there and you can use whatever veggies you prefer. |

In a nonstick 12 -inch skillet over medium heat, melt butter (or margarine), cook zucchini, broccoli, oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Add Spinach and toss until wilted. remove skillet from heat. In 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons margarine (or butter). Stir in flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
