Spinach Lasagna

I don't know about you guys, but I love Italian cuisine. My favorite combination is spinach and tomato sauce. I love lasagna, and have been looking for a good recipe. I found this one, and was excited, because it didn't have expensive ingredients, and was healthier then most other recipes. So, today I gave it a shot.

My impressions: We loved it.
Things that I will do different next time:
Cut down the spinach. I love spinach, but it was a bit too much. I will probably do 1 to 1 1/2 pkgs next time. Also, I will thaw it first, and do a quick squeeze to get out some excess liquid. Not all, but most. Also, this makes A TON! We barely made a dent in it. I would either cut the recipe in half, or just make two smaller pans and freeze one (before cooking it). I ended up freezing a large portion of it, to have another day. Also, a good tip would be to not fall asleep while it's in the oven, and be so dead tired that when your husband tells you the timer rang you apparently acknowledge him before falling back asleep, but then wake up 15 minutes later, having no recollection of the conversation. It still tasted good.
