Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 16 ounces fresh spinach
- 16 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 cups marinara sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach and chop it finely.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, sautéed spinach, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Lay a single layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread one-third of the ricotta-spinach mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Spoon 1 cup of marinara sauce over the cheese. Repeat this layering process two more times.
For the final layer, add a layer of noodles, top with the remaining marinara sauce, and sprinkle evenly with the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil does not touch the cheese to avoid sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
