Hello Gals and Pals:

I'm on a quest to obtain lost Great American Recipe cards for my precious mother who is pulling her hair out because she has misplaced some of her favorite recipes for the past year.

I'm new to this website but if anyone could help me find:

Red, White, and Green Lasagna
Best Ever Chocolate Cake
(Quick and Easy) Cherry Desert

I would greatly appreciate it. So will my family who has been missing out on these yummy dishes.

Thank You

RED, WHITE, AND GREEN LASAGNA

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed*

1 clove garlic, minced

2 green onions, chopped

1 3/4 cups ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 eggs

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons dry white wine

3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

3 cups prepared meatless spaghetti sauce

8 ounces no-boil lasagna noodles

Squeeze excess water from spinach. Combine spinach, garlic, green onions, ricotta cheese, Parmesan, and eggs in a large bowl; mix well.

Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add flour. Stir well. Add wine and milk. Cook, stirring, until thick, about 3 minutes.

Add Cheddar. Stir until Cheddar is melted.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Spoon half of spaghetti sauce into a medium baking pan. Layer half the noodles, the spinach mixture, noodles, and remaining spaghetti sauce in pan. Pour cheese sauce over prepared layers.

Bake lasagna until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

*There are many wonderful greens that would be delicious instead of the spinach. Try boiled, chopped Swiss chard.
