This dish was incredibly well received by my diners. Everyone raved about it. I only used 8 oz of noodles. I steamed about 20 oz of baby spinach instead of using frozen. I can see this being an oft requested meal. Thanks for a great recipe.

My family devoured it! I cut the recipe in 1/2, because as written, it definitely would make 8 servings for my family and they usually eat good sized portions. I baked it in an 8x8 square pan and being that it wasn't a very tall pan, I only used 6 of the noodle sheets (2 for each layer). I left out the red peppers so that my son would eat it and instead of the spinach, I used thawed, chopped broc. So, I did make a lot of changes, but the overall dish was one that will be made often around here. I served it with Recipe #16847 and fresh side salads. Thanks for the great and EASY recipe!

Sooooo good!! I've been looking for a recipe like this for some time now. I love lasagna, but I was looking for something a bit different, and this is definitely it! Instead of using the bottled alfredo sauce, I ended up using the alfredo sauce in recipe #76 and some garlic roast chicken from the night before. Since I'm a bacon fiend, I had to put a little bit of cooked chopped bacon in this as well. This is definitely going in my cookbook of favorite recipes!

This is a great recipe! Really really easy and DELICIOUS!!! I changed it a little bit - I put a little olive oil in the bottom of the lasagna pan. I also added a layer on top of the chicken mixture, 16 oz ricotta cheese, 1 egg, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. I also drizzled a little olive oil on the top after it was all put together, and cooked it at a higher temp, about 400.

Tasty, but rich! I used roasted red pepper alfredo sauce and a jar of garlic alfredo sauce. I thought I had a jar of roasted red peppers, but it turned out to be sundried tomatoes, so I omitted those. I cooked the noodles, personal preference. The result was a thick, rich, delectable meal that my husband termed "a keeper."
