I would assume a 10 oz package was intended since that's the size box frozen spiniach comes in.

I made this last night for my wife. I doubled the tomato sauce though and coated the bottom of the dish with a little sauce. It held together great and tasted just as gooooooood. Will be making it again.

As I am looking at the recipe now, it reads 1 oz spinach? Is this a misprint or is it truly one ounce spinach. Thank you.

The oven-ready lasagna noodles pretty much disappeared after the bake-stage. Essentially good taste, but no noodles left intact to hold it together.
