I need to make this deconstructed lasagna again. It&#8217;s calls for all of the standard ingredients for the body that gets combined into one messy mixture, but it&#8217;s topped with blobs of creamy spinach dip instead of a ricotta filling or a bechamel layer between the pasta and meat sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Pros of making this dish: I found I used about 1\/4 of the normal cheese blend I would have used for a traditional lasagna, and there was a speedier assembly of ingredients since I wasn&#8217;t stopping to do any layering. And I didn&#8217;t have to wait for a bechamel sauce to be made. I bought and used a spinach dip from the grocery store. I also didn&#8217;t have to wait as long for the layers to set up when it came out of the oven.<\/p>\n<p>Cons of making this dish: I couldn&#8217;t find one because I didn&#8217;t have any Italians eating this with me. \ud83d\ude00 I didn&#8217;t like the tang of the spinach dip as much as I thought I would. I will have to source a different brand, or buy a different type of dip next time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2991\" src=\"http:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PXL_20241221_225724259-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PXL_20241221_225724259-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PXL_20241221_225724259-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PXL_20241221_225724259-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/auntiestacey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PXL_20241221_225724259.jpg 1209w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t remember how long I baked this or at what temp, but I&#8217;ll use my best guess here.
