Creamy Chipotle and Italian Sausage Lasagna

Pretty darn good stuff. A half recipe made four servings.

• Used home-made Italian sausage.
• Used two "tablets" of frozen spinach, thawed; it looked too little in the meat, but was fine in the sauce.
• Used a can of (seedless) tomato bits in juice for the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes.
• Didn't cook the noodles, but soaked them while I prepared the rest.
• Used the amount of chipotle asked for the whole recipe. On tasting, I thought it was pretty bland, so I added the remaining chipotle from the jar. That made it nicely zingy, but not too hot. Went directly onto the Do-Me-Again list.
