Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagne sheets
- 12 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cups Ricotta cheese
- 3 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups Marinara sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, half of the Parmesan cheese, the egg, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well incorporated.
Stir the cooked spinach into the cheese mixture and set aside.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place a layer of lasagne sheets over the marinara sauce. Spread half of the ricotta-spinach mixture evenly over the lasagne sheets, followed by 1 cup of marinara sauce and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layering process: another layer of lasagne sheets, the remaining ricotta-spinach mixture, 1 cup of marinara sauce, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.
Top with a final layer of lasagne sheets, the remaining marinara sauce, and the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil does not touch the surface of the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the lasagne rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
