I am really impressed with the results of this recipe. I did, however, change one ingredient. I substituted four cheese alfredo sauce for the heavy cream. I love spinach, so I used a bit more than the recipe called for. It worked really well. Go easy on the salt. The flavors blend well by themselves.

Very good, but a little too rich for me. I also thought it needed more veggies. Overall, a very good meal in and of itself.

This was excellent! I made a few changes. Used a combo of light cream and fat free half and half in place of heavy cream. Used frozen spinach and chicken breasts. Everyone loved it! Froze some leftovers for quick lunches - just as good!

This is an excellent recipe. To overcome the issue with the volume of spinach (I used 1 - 6oz. bag of fresh baby spinach leaves which worked out to be the perfect amount without overwhelming the dish... or kids ~ nice green speckles here and there), I added the spinach to the skillet of sauteed veggies at the last moment before turning off the heat to slightly wilt the spinach. This way all of the prepared ingredients fit perfectly into the 9" x 13" dish without the oozing that I've read about in other reviews. I also used a whole medium sized onion and the whole 5oz. package of sliced mushrooms from the produce dept. This worked out perfectly for flavor, not to mention nothing wasted. The mushroom slices (as opposed to chopped) made it a lot easier for my little mushroom hater to pick them out. Allow the dish to rest at least 15 minutes after removing it from the oven to allow it to settle for easier cutting and serving. The sauce would be great as a base for other pasta dishes too. I will definitely use this recipe again and again. Thanks for posting it!

This was very very very rich. I was very disappointed after reading the reviews. My husband thought it would make a good appetizer but to much for a main course.

Excellent, and let me tell you how good. My husband and I were installing hard wood floors this week-end. When we were 3/4 of the way finished, I was bringing the last of the old carpet into the garage when I accidently knocked a picture frame onto our new floor. It left a huge hole that we couldn't ignore. To make a long story short, he enjoyed this recipe so much, he said he forgave me for what happen earlier. Can't beat that. I will make this again and again.

I was amazed at how good this was, it tasted like something straight out of an expensive restaurant! My whole family loved it and we have some picky eaters! I only changed a few things, I used frozen (thawed) spinach as opposed to fresh, low fat cream of mushroom soup, and less of the heavy cream (I used 2 cups).

I was shocked at how good the alfredo sauce was using canned soup! I used half and half vs. cream, 1 pkg. frozen spinach squeezed very dry, and boiled chicken breasts on the bone. I also use ziti or penne instead of lasagna because it is quicker. I think it could have used a little more salt, so make sure you boil your pasta in salted water. Very good! Thanks!

this was very good. though i had to buy a lot ingredients for it and it took some time to prepare. to save a pot i cooked the onions and veg (used a red pepper instead of spinach) first then added all the ingredients for the cream sauce in the same pot. and instead of lasagna i used penne and just tossed everything together before i baked it. i would make this again but next time i think i will just use the cream sauce and chicken and veg without baking it and without the ricotta and mozerella. i felt the sauce was good enough on it's own and it would be fewer ingredients i would need to buy. also next time i will try using milk instead cream to save some calories.

I made this for some friends and they seem to like it. It was very running though, and I had even added some flour to the sauce to try to thicken it up. I might try this again, but it was alot of work. Not a quick fixer.

This is a very unique twist on traditional lasagna! I changed the recipe only to make a healthier version! I used fresh baby spinach, reduced fat cream of mushroom soup, half and half instead of heavy cream, and reduced fat cheeses. I also used an Italian flavored local store bought roasted chicken. I will definitely make this recipe again for my family!
