Note

From page 140 Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook:

Pearl Chats: "I’ve made plenty of zucchini and eggplant lasagnas in the last few years that fit S mode, but those types of lasagnas require me to pre-cut up the veggies into thin flat layers as faux noodles and sometimes also require pre-cooking of the veggies. I’m so over that. These days my life is way too busy for extra steps. I need ultra-easy meals, so I thought about spinach. It’s super cheap when you buy it in frozen bricks, it doesn't require cutting… hmmm… couldn’t that work as a lasagna noodle layer? My children are not the hugest spinach fans, but they scarf this down and tell me it is the best lasagna ever! This is my go to lasagna now; I’ve ditched all the others."
