   Green Lasagna To quote the author, “Many years ago, I invited some friends
   to try mu kosher green lasagne. At first they declined my invitation (being
   strictly orthodox, they seldom accepted invitations to eat in other
   people’s homes). But when I insisted that I would buy everything new -from
   pots and pans to tablecloth and dishes - they accepted. They came early, so
   I prepared everything with their help. We had a lot of fun, and they liked
   my lasagna so much that they asked to stay for supper to eat the leftovers.
   Of course, I was very flattered and delighted that they stayed.” Squeeze
   most of the liquid of the spinach. Chop very fine to the consistency of a
   smooth paste.  Make dough with spinach, eggs and flour as needed, following
   the directions for pasta - homemade. Roll it thin, sprinkling often with
   flour to avoid sticking . Cut into strips about 5X8 inches. Bring 6 quarts
   of water to a boil with 3 Tbsp salt. Cook a few strips at a time for 2
   minutes, uncovered. Remove from boiling water with a slotted spoon and drop
   into a basin of cold water. Drain and spread over a slightly damp cloth.
   Coat the bottom of a lasagna baking dish with 2 Tbsp oil and 1/4 cup tomato
   sauce. Place in it one layer; lightly cover it with tomato sauce and
   dollops of cheese sauce. Sprinkle with some Parmesan cheese and continue to
   make layers until you have used up all the pasta and the sauces. Sprinkle
   top with remaining oil and bake in a 400F oven for approximately 20
   minutes. Serve with remaining Parmesan cheese in a separate dish. SERVES: 6
