i am thinking of making spinach and mushroom lasagne sometime really soon, and i want to know which kind of sauce do you think would be better with it..regular pizza/spaghetti sauce, or alfredo sauce ? also, if anyone has ever made this, was there any other veggie you put into it as well ? it will be my 1st time making this, so i dont want to screw it up..thanks guys:flowerforyou:

I don't know about mushrooms (don't like them), but I make a good spinach, artichoke, ricotta lasagna that has the following sauce:

5 tbsp butter (easy to lighten this up, and I think I half the recipe)
1 medium yellow onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all purpose flour
3 1/2 cup milk
3/4 tsp nutmeg, grated

1) Melt butter and add onions, cook 4 minutes
2) Stir in flour and cook 2 minutes (DO NOT BROWN)
3) Whisk in milk slowly and bring to a boil. Stir in nutmeg, season with salt and pepper to taste
4) Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 min, whisking occasionally.

It seems to me that sauce would work with your lasagna, too. It's probably lighter than alfredo, although not as light as SkinnyTaste or whatever alfredo.

GL!
