Episode 251: James Foods Spinach Artichoke Lasagna

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master


Veggie lasagna is a tricky product to put out–especially when it comes out of the freezer aisle. If you add too much good nutritious veggies, you run the risk of it tasting more like a warm salad than a dense slice of heaven. If you add too little then you will be questioning why bother adding anything in there to begin with! Personally, that’s why I favor meat lasagnas and why it’s going to take a superior veggie lasagna to get my taste buds watering. And then we have this James Foods Spinach Artichoke Lasagna: a higher priced meal with a high-end looking box. How does it taste? The Frozen Food Master tells you.

great serving size. they aren’t cheating you on what they decided was one serving. it still gets me that an industry standard is 8 ounces for a serving of liquid.

i’ve only ever had normal/plain lasagna. i dislike it in general because of how impossible it is to keep neat, all the layers slide apart and squish from under when you try to cut it.

thanks for the entertaining review.

This may seem a little off topic, but if you make lasagna homemade don’t cook the noodles beforehand. You don’t have to buy the no cook lasagna noodles either. Just use regular ones and they will absorb some of the extra liquid in your sauce. You’ll have a neat lasagna that doesn’t get squishy!

That lasagna looks really good. Does the artichoke contribute a strong flavor? I’m imagining a spinach and artichoke dip on a lasagna, is that anywhere near the right flavor?

I’m obsessed with spinach/artichoke anything.

Healthy Lasagna!
That’s just ridiculous, next you’ll be eating apples with trans-fats and chocolate cakes with vitamins and minerals…
Awesome review though! I love spinach and ricotta tortellini.

I once had a lentil lasagna, that was beautiful.
Every review I watch and I hope, please Lord, don’t let Greg be stupid again and put blatantly hot food in his mouth, and every review you always shove some scolding food straight into your mouth… when will you learn?
Awesome review though :D

Greg,

Where did you get this? I don’t think you mentioned it during the review.

Thanks for reviewing our product. Most of our items are now microwave safe so you no longer have to wait 100+ minutes to enjoy!

We loved the spinach/artichoke lasagna – really fresh tasting veggies – reasonable fat content – but we'd like less salt. First time microwaving this product; liked it better than oven cooking.

I just like a heaping hunk of ground beef and marinara in my lasagna, I don't like to get too fancy with the classics.

I found this lasagna recently at Ingles — it was totally delicious — the best freezer case pasta I have ever eaten. But Ingles no longer carries it (maybe because it's a little pricey? But it's worth every penny). Anyway, now I'm looking for another place to buy it!

absolutely delicious and so low on the calories. I bought it at Ingles but they have discontinued it. Where or where can I buy it now? Please advise where it is being sold now. Thanks, Barbara
