Ingredients needed and substitutions:

Oven Ready Lasagna - I used Barilla Oven-ready lasagna sheets.They are a great option for making quick and easy lasagna. Unlike traditional lasagna noodles, oven-ready sheets do not require pre-boiling, which saves a significant amount of time and effort. These sheets are also more flexible and easy to handle, making them simpler to layer and assemble in a healthy lasagna dish.

Moreover, they often have a slightly thinner and more delicate texture compared to regular lasagna noodles, which allows them to absorb more sauce and flavors from the other ingredients, resulting in a more delicious and cohesive dish. Overall, oven-ready lasagna sheets are a convenient and tasty alternative for busy cooks who want to enjoy a classic Italian dish without spending too much time in the kitchen.

Alfredo Sauce - Rao's roasted garlic Alfredo sauce works well for this Alfredo spinach lasagna. My second favorite Alfredo sauce is Newman's Own Alfredo sauce.

Chopped Spinach - I used a bag of frozen chopped spinach to make this meatless cheese lasagna recipe. You can certainly use fresh spinach if you have that on hand but the frozen worked perfect, quick and easy!

How to make Easy White Vegetable Lasagna

1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 2 quart rectangular baking dish with cooking spray.

2: Take 2 tablespoons of your store bought Alfredo sauce and spread on the bottom of your baking dish. Then take 3 sheets of your lasagna noodles and layer on top of the sauce.

3: Now that you have your first layer of no bake noodles down, add a tablespoon of Alfredo sauce on top of each noodle and a teaspoon of ricotta cheese, a handful of chopped spinach, shredded mozzarella, a basil leaf and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. You can then add some additional Alfredo sauce drizzled over the top.

4: Add a layer of noodles on top and repeat the process. I did 3 layers using 12 lasagna sheets in total.

5: When you place your final top layer of your oven ready lasagna noodles in your dish you will add again your Alfredo sauce, ricotta cheese, spinach, shredded mozzarella, basil, Italian seasoning and you will also add a couple of thin slices of mozzarella on top to finish. Once the layering is complete take the remaining Alfredo sauce in your jar add a little bit of water to your jar cover and shake then pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over and around the lasagna in the dish.

6: Cover with aluminum foil. Make sure your spray the underside of the foil with your spray olive oil so it does not stick to the top your lasagna. Place in the oven covered for 50 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden and crispy on top.

7: Once baking is complete remove from oven, slice and serve...enjoy!!!
