Finally found the extra creamy white lasagna I've been looking for since I had it in a university cafeteria many moons ago! I added a whole bag of frozen spinach and a lot of matchstick carrots sauteed. Next time I'll do more thickly cut carrots. Couldn't find masala, so I used sweet vermouth. It was pretty perfect. Thank you, Ms Kitty Cat!

I just made this. I used barilla no- boil lasagne noodles and I skipped the wine, substituted onions for shallots and added chopped spinach and 4 cloves chopped garlic to the sauce as well as a bag on coarsly chopped califonia blend veggies. I also added more cheese. It is very good. Mushrooms would have been good too!

Really wonderful. Like Parsley, I added some chopped sauteed shiitake mushrooms, and a bit of leftover seafood (shrimp and scallops) which didn't hurt a bit! The sauce is the secret, though. And instead of the boxed lasagne, I got out my trusty Marcato and rolled out my own paper-thin pasta sheets! Thanks, Ms, Kitty, for tonight's delicious dinner idea...

A nice, elegant lasagna. I added sauteed mushrooms and garlic to the sauce. I'm glad I did, because the garlic gave this great flavor. I felt 1 cup of cheese was not enough for a big lasagna, so I doubled that amount. Thanx for sharing this great recipe. I'll make this again with my mentioned adjustments.
