Chicken Ceasar Lasagna

This definitely make its rounds at our house. The word casserole doesn't spark a lot of confidence but throw a lasagna and I'm game. Not only are they delicious but, as this one proves, very versatile.
It takes a little more work than my traditional cheesy lasagna because you have to cook the noodles before baking on this one.

Start by preheating the oven to 325' F. While that's getting ready cook your noodles as it says on the package drain and set aside. While that's cooking combine the chicken, alfredo, lemon juice, spinach, peppers and black pepper.
Now it's time to build your lasagna. In an 8x8 baking dish put just a little sauce on the bottom of the pan to prevent the noodles from sticking. Then it's just noodles, sauce, noodles, sauce, noodles, sauce, cheese. (Did you catch that? It's 3 layers of noodles and sauce but only 1 layer of cheese) I found that the texture of the spinach in each layer replaces that of the cheese, so by putting the cheese only on top it's almost like you are tricking yourself to think there is more cheese than is really there.
Then you cover it with alumum foil and bake for about 45 minutes (just long enough to get the sauce heated all the way through.

Ingredients

• 9    dried whole wheat (or regular lasagna noodles if you're lame like that ;) )
• 1  10-oz. container  light Alfredo sauce (I use the cheesy garlic one that Kraft makes)
• 1 1/2  Tbsp.  lemon juice
• 1/2  tsp.  cracked black pepper
• chopped, seasoned cooked chicken breast (I usually used salt pepper garlic and onion powder on 2 large breasts that's what she said)
• 5 to 10 oz.  frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained (for this I just put some clumps on 3 paper towels in the microwave and thaw it. Then use the paper towels to ring out the spinach out in the sink, but be careful it's hot)
• 1/2 of a bottle of roasted red sweet peppers, drained and chopped (I've been known to chop up some frozen red peppers if I don't have a bottle on hand)
• 3/4  cup  shredded Italian blend cheese
