Spinach Alfredo Lasagna

Italian cuisine is on constant rotation in my house, and though it’s always delicious, it’s sometimes good to switch things up. Even the best spaghetti dish becomes a little old-hat after a while if you’re having it a few times a month, you know?!

That’s why I love this Spinach Alfredo Lasagna … Not only is it a combination of two beautiful flavors I adore (spinach + Alfredo sauce), it’s something new and familiar at the same time. That means the picky eaters in your house, if you have any, probably won’t find too much to hate with this dish. It’s just lasagna with a minor but oh-so-amazing twist.

One of the great things about this recipe is you can use sweet, mild, or spicy Italian sausage according to your family’s tastes – they all work and are equally delicious! Interested? I knew you would be! Here’s the recipe …

Spinach Alfredo Lasagna: Questions & Answers

If you have questions about making spinach lasagna with Alfredo sauce, I have answers! Take a look at this section before leaving a comment if you run into trouble or just want some suggestions.

• Are there certain sides you suggest with this recipe?

I like to serve this up with garlic bread! ​I have a great recipe for it here.​ Salads also pair well if you want something a little lighter … and good thing I have an ​Italian salad recipe​ on the blog, too!

• Do you have to use Italian sausage? Is another protein alright?

Chicken also tastes great in this recipe, as does ground turkey. But, honestly … for that authentic Italian flavor, you’ll want to use Italian sausage. It’s just too good.

• Can you use homemade Alfredo sauce?

Absolutely, if you want to take the time to make it! I have a ​recipe for homemade Alfredo sauce​ if you want to try it.

• What kind of lasagna noodles should I use?

My recipe assumes you’re using the uncooked kind. But you can easily skip that step by using noodles that are labeled as “oven-ready” (they’re pre-cooked, basically). If you’re wondering which is better, I don’t think you’ll taste a difference! Whichever you can find is fine!

• Can you freeze baked lasagna?

Yes! It should stay in the freezer for about four months. Just use an aluminum tin and cover it with foil, and reheat when you’re ready.

• What about unbaked lasagna? Can you freeze that?

Yes indeed!! Same as above, but just be aware you may need a bit more time in the oven with it.

How did you like this spinach lasagna with Alfredo sauce?

It’s something different than the old marinara-style lasagna, but totally delish, in my opinion! Comment down below with your Alfredo lasagna experience, or feel free to ask me any questions if you’re having trouble. Y’all know I’d be happy to help!
