  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
