Just made it. I didn’t put bacon in it but I pan fried the spinach in butter, oil and garlic. I added more cottage cheese ,mozzarella cheese and sliced provolone. Very good
Victor Franklin
Used an Italian cheese mix instead. Bacon was a nice touch, but the cream cheese over powered everything. I will add a red sauce to it next time.
Danielle Shaffer
My family really enjoyed this and I didn’t change a thing!
Matthew Shaffer
Yes! I added some extra stuff. Pregos Alfredo sauce, extra bacon and sauté the spinach. It was fabulous.
Rebecca Solis
Fantastic! This was my first ever attempt at making lasagna and it was super easy and very delicious! I’m not one to follow exact recipes and changed it up a bit by using bacon bits, a whole container of cottage cheese and added mozzarella and cheddar in addition to the original ingredients. I mixed it all together with 2 12oz. bags of cooked spinach. Next I did my build different by doing a layer of noodles followed by a layer of the mixture and repeated until the last layer, then I just topped that with swiss and fresh parmesan. Everyone loved it, even the 6yr old!

This is very good. I can’t have tomatoes and have missed lasagna. I made some changes: *I used 16 oz of lasagna noodles and made several layers instead of just 2. Ended the top layer with the cheese mix and topped with sliced provolone. *Used egg sub *9 slices of turkey bacon *Garlic salt instead of powder *to taste ground peppercorn, ground cayanne pepper, dried dill, dried cilantro Next time might add in Ricotta and sauteed onions

Super good!! Got tons of compliments when I made it. It was super rich so I don’t think I’d make it every day.

A bit too much on the cream cheese side for my liking
Marco Love
This is by far the best recipe I have ever got. I make this constantly for any party, work fucntion, etc. and it’s always the same overwhelming response and praise. I can eat a whole one myself! You cannot go wrong with this meal and you’ll raise a lot of eyebrows since it’s not your typical lasagna. Enjoy and Kudos to the originator!
Lisa Powell
great recipe. My picky sons even enjoyed this one.
Julia Long
My husband and I loved this! I would have given it 5 stars, but I think I overdid the bacon and not enough spinach. Next time I will add much more spinach and less bacon. I did cover it with foil to retain moisture.
Benjamin Stuart
This recipe produced quite a dense product. It tasted good, but was better (in my opinion) with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of salt.
Nicole Gonzalez
This was a great recipe. I personally used 1 pack of 8 fat free cream cheese, mix blend of provolone with some other cheeses, 1 cup of more of cottage cheese, turkey bacon, more than a dash of garlic powder, fresh spinach, ground turkey, and garlic flav. alfredo sauce. It came out excellent. The best lasagna I ever made. Great for anyone. Also I served with bread sticks with infused olive oil, spinach salad, and homemade strawberry ice cream.
Betty Terrell
The secret to this recipe is to cook it covered with foil to retain moisture. I fiddled with the quanities a bit and used fresh spinach. More cheese, some sour cream. We enjoyed this.
Patricia Jordan
Very good, although extra rich – and I even took previous suggestions of using low-fat everything, and chicken bacon. To agree with others – it needs MUCH more spinach, maybe twice as much! Next time I’d add a bag of fresh spinach to chop & add to the cooked stuff. Add a little sour cream in the cheese mixture; more egg and shredded cheese too (I used an Edam-Mozzarella mix). Top with a sprinkling of cheese and broil to get a nice top. And it freezes well – I made the recipe for 12, refrigerated it, sliced it up & plastic-wrapped individual portions to be defrosted & cooked in the microwave or oven, at home or at work some other night!
Johnny Davis
Husband loved it. I had to substitute mozzarella for provolone, whipped cream cheese for half of the called-for amount, precooked bacon, and a 16-oz bag of x-wide egg noodles. It turned out very moist, full of flavor, and delicious. I have been looking for a recipe just like this and I highly suggest the substitution of cheeses.
Joshua Clay
Tasted pretty good-bacon and spinach are a good combination together. However, this lasagna turned out a little more dry than I would have liked it. If you can find way to remedy this good dish you can make it great!
Olivia Johnson
This recipe had good taste but was dry. I would make it again and add some ricotta to give in some moisture. Or… I think if you added some milk or half and half to the cream chesse it would help too. Don’t make it ahead and put it in the oven to heat. That is too long for it to be in the oven.
Christopher Long
This was great, but I used fresh spinach instead. I really love pasta without a tomato sauce base, so any time I can find one this tasty it is going to the recipe box.
Deborah Mckinney
Pretty bland. Not enjoyed.
Dennis Walker
This wasn’t a terrible recipe, but my fiance and I didn’t care too much for it, and will not make it again. I think it was too bacon-y for my taste and he said we should stick to tomato-based lasagnas.
