Meat Lasagna vs. Spinach Lasagna

Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar — Fort Worth, TX

Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar keeps its lasagna menu simple — two options, both $12.00, one built around meat and one built without it. Here’s what’s actually in each, and how lasagna compares to Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s other baked pasta.

Meat Lasagna — $12.00

Layers of tender pasta, rich Bolognese, and a blend of Italian cheeses, baked until bubbling under a golden mozzarella top. Bolognese is a meat-based sauce, so this is the heartier of the two — the classic version of lasagna most people picture.

Spinach Lasagna — $12.00

Pasta layered with fresh spinach, creamy ricotta, and rich marinara, baked until perfectly golden. It’s the vegetarian option — no meat in the sauce or filling, with spinach and ricotta doing the work that ground beef does in the Meat Lasagna.

How Lasagna Compares to Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s Other Baked Pasta

Lasagna isn’t the only baked pasta on the pasta menu at Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar — Baked Ziti and Baked Ziti with Eggplant are also baked under cheese rather than tossed and served. The difference is mostly shape and layering: lasagna uses flat pasta sheets stacked in layers, while ziti is a tube shape mixed directly into its sauce. If you want the full rundown on the seven ziti preparations at Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar, see the ziti guide.
