Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, the Parmesan cheese, thawed and drained spinach, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the spinach and ricotta mixture on top of the noodles, followed by 1 cup of marinara sauce. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a final layer of marinara sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella over the top.
Step 4: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese on top is melted and bubbling. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
