Chicken and Spinach Alfredo Lasagna

Texaspollock's Note:

This is a wonderful variation on the traditional lasagna with the added healthy benefits of spinach. I like to use whole wheat pasta and grilled chicken breast. When you can't get them to eat their spinach just serve up some of this great lasagna!

This was awesome! I halved the recipe and made in an 8 X 8 pan. I used no cook noodles, homemade alfredo, fresh spinach (sauteed in olive oil and garlic) and substituted ham for the chicken. We will make this again for sure!

I used one jar 5 cheese alfredo and one newmans alfredo and mixed them. They work together well. Everyone loves it.

I made half a recipe but oh so good. I used fresh spinach and ricotta cheese. Very filling and great flavor.
