1/2 pound lasagna noodles, uncooked
Mix the cheese with everything listed below it. Layer as follows:
Pour in about 3/4 cup water or the liquid from the drained spinach (with water, if necessary). Cover tightly and bake at 375° for 1 hour. Uncover, bake until all liquid is absorbed and peppers are browned nicely.
Poster's Notes:
I make smaller pans of lasagna as I find they cook better and they don't take up too much room on the table. For company, I just make 2 pans.

My lasagna recipes aren't very formal as I've been whipping them together for so long! I think of lasagna as always having cheese so I don't tend to make a meat lasagna. I do do meat, veggies and pasta dishes with tomato sauce poured over rather than a lasagna-style dish.
