Today we’re sharing a recipe for our white garlic sauce lasagna. This lasagna uses our famous white garlic pizza sauce instead of the traditional marinara sauce making a delicious alternative.
Due to how much we love our white garlic pizza sauce, we wanted to find other ways we could use this sauce. This sauce can be used for so much more than pizza. We have used it as a dipping sauce for breadsticks, a sauce over pasta and recently were inspired to use it as sauce in lasagna.
What is White Garlic Sauce Lasagna?
This lasagna layers white garlic sauce, lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, mozzarella or other cheeses, shredded chicken, and spinach for a delicious combination. This pasta dish uses a white sauce instead of marinara and chicken instead of sausage or beef.
