I would like to make lasagna this evening but my fiance doesn’t deal well with cooked tomatoes. Sometime, somewhere I recall having a lasagna made with chicken, spinach and white sauce. My guess is that I can replace the tomato sauce with alfredo or something similar.
Does anyone have a good recipe for a white lasagna? I figured I would come here and find a recipe that is tried and true before I head to the kitchen and start throwing stuff in a pan.
Check out these recipes including White Lasagne.
How about stuffed shells? Here is a recipe of my own devising…gets rave reviews every time I have made it:
Spinach Alfredo Stuffed Pasta Shells
2 eggs
16 oz. container of ricotta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp. garlic powder or granulated garlic
Dash of nutmeg
4 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
¼ cup dried shallots
½ cup finely chopped onion
3 or 4 crushed garlic cloves
Package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
3 cups shredded mozzarella
½ cup shredded parmesan or romano cheese
1 jar Classico garlic alfredo sauce
Splash of white wine
1 package of jumbo pasta shells
Filling:
Mix eggs and ricotta cheese until well combined. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg, and garlic powder. Adjust seasoning as desired. Add 1 cup of the mozzarella and ¼ cup of the grated romano cheese. Mix well. Add bacon, shallots, chopped onion crushed garlic cloves, and spinach.
Boil pasta shells in salted water with a splash of oil until al dente (Do not over cook). Stir often to prevent sticking. Drain.
Dilute the garlic alfredo sauce with a splash or two of white wine. Spread a small amount of the sauce into a 9x13 baking dish.
Stuff the cooked shells with the filling mixture, continuing until all filling is used up. Any extra shells can be cut in half and pushed in among the stuffed shells.
Pour the remaining alfredo sauce over the shells. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and romano cheeses over the top.
Cover and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until cheese is melted and lightly browned on top.
I once made a yummy asparagus lasanga that was white. I got the recipe from googling for it - I believe it was from the Canadian version of Food TV’s website.
That stuffed shell recipe sounds delicious. The next time I make those, I am going to use your recipe.
