You're right! This is absolutely delicious and I have been making it for years. It is from a cookbook I have called Betty Crockers Recipes for Today (1988). When I make this, I don't change a thing (and it IS a good way to sneak in the spinach - I love it but DH does not!). Thanks for posting - now I can add this to my shopping list right off of the Zaar!

This was pretty good, and pretty easy to make. I made it around noon and refrigerated it, then we baked it around 5:30 p.m. I followed the ingredients exactly, and it tasted great. I used Barilla no-boil noodles, and there were no issues with them being too undercooked or anything. I gave it 4 stars because my lasagna turned out quite runny, even after letting it rest (after baking) for a bit - so I couldn't take a good picture to post! I think if I make this again I might try to reduce the liquid in it somehow. Also, I agree that sliced mushrooms would be a good addition, and maybe fresh spinach. Made for Fall PAC 2012.

Very nice tasting casserole, & one that I'd be happy to make again! I usually shy away from recipes that include cooked spinach, but this turned out to be A GREAT LASAGNA! With a little tweaking, I could also make this into a veggie lasagna (to please my son & his wife ~ Me, I like it with the chicken)! Thanks for posting the recipe!

I really enjoyed the taste of this dish. It did take me longer to prepare then noted but I had to cook the chicken and the noodles(my preference). The sauce was a bit runny so did let it sit out on the counter for a good 5min and was much better the next day warmed up. Unfortunately my picky family did not care for it, think it was the spinach. UPDATE I tried it with broccoli tonight and the only thing I forgot to buy at the store was the cottage cheese. I made it without and it turned out great, not running at all and the whole family loved it.

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
