spinach lasagna - Wow!

Years ago, I was looking for a meatless recipe to serve my family.

Then I found this -  What a hit.  

Now all my kids ask for it -  for their Birthdays, even when they have a choice.  So, I thought you might like it.  

I have reformated it, because I am allergic to Tomato Paste, that why there is Tomato Sauce.
