Lasagna

Lasagna is always a crowd-pleaser, and this recipe, from my sister-in-law Sherry, is about the best. Buy either dried lasagna noodles or the newer pre-cooked version. If you use dried, boil them according to the package directions and set them aside to assemble the lasagna. The pre-cooked noodles you can just lay in the pan right out of the package.
Sherry’s version doesn’t call for spinach, but many recipes do. I prefer it, and it’s easy to add. Besides, the red, white, and green are Italian colors. Just buy a couple of packages of frozen chopped spinach, thaw in a colander, squeeze most of the water out, and add it with the ricotta cheese.
