I have never seen a spice pack in the grocery store for lasagna like I have seen for chili and pot roast. Does one exist? Lasagna usually doesn't include any spices just sprinkled over layers. The tomato sauce I use in layers does, of course. Did you mean that? If so, standard recipes for tomato sauce might include basil, oregano, rosemary, marjoram, thyme or a few others. Make a good sauce and you can use it in or on anything! Sometimes I grind a bit of fresh nutmeg into the cheese filling... Since the OP doesn't cook (much) it seems a jarred tomato sauce would fit the bill perfectly for assembling lasagna. Jill

Jarred sauce, as I suggested, isn't usually simply tomato sauce. I prefer Newman's Own tomato sauce. The tomato basil version. YMMV Jill

Plain tomato sauce with a sprinkle of mixed Italian herbs works for me. There are also other canned tomato products with less salt. I had some Newman's Own with tomato and basil last month. It was good, but my sister says she can't find it any more. It isn't on the web page: http://www.newmansown.com/product_list.cfm?cat_id=3 -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA

I hope it doesn't disappear off the shelves here (or in SC) any time soon. It's really good stuff if you can't find good tomatoes to make your own sauce. Maybe we can write to Paul and tell him we want them to keep it in production. Jill
