Lasagna

A friend from Bible Study came over for dinner tonight, so I made lasagna. It's cold outside (again!), so comfort food seemed like a good choice.

Sauce
1 jar favorite spaghetti sauce (I used a Ragu that was on sale)
1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
basil
parsley
sliced peppers
1/3 cup white wine

Saute peppers in a bit of olive oil, then add remaining ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes or however long it takes to mix the filling.

Filling
30 oz. part skim ricotta
2 tbsp sour cream
1/4 - 1/3 cup plain yogurt
12 oz. frozen loose leaf spinach

Mix well.

Put 1 cup sauce into 9 X 13 pan.
Top with 3 noodles.
Put layer of filling, topped with handful of shredded mozzarella.
Repeat sauce, noodles and filling layers.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes covered, 15 additional minutes uncovered.

Using the sauce and filling above, I made one 9 X 13 pan for us and one 8 X 8 pan for someone else.

We had this with spinach and red lettuce salad topped with apples and feta (and bread).
