It looks yummy, but I think I have Diabetes--not given the final diagnosis but very suspect. If I made this yummy dish, I think I could eat a small corner of it and stay within my tight carb count. Is it worth it? Maybe after a few weeks of stomach shrinking, I'll be ready for it.

I've always thot that lasagne is a complex dish to make but looking at yours, complex or not, it's worth it!
Tina says
This looks like a winner. Lasagna is sometimes over the top with all the meats in there. However, this looks so delicious, spinach does look like a better way to go. Well done Catherine and I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend!
