Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 Lasagne noodles
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 16 ounces Fresh spinach
- 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Marinara sauce
- 4 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagne noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
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 the skillet from heat and let the spinach cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Chop the cooked spinach finely and fold it into the ricotta mixture.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place a single layer of cooked lasagne noodles over the sauce.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta-spinach mixture over the noodles, followed by 1 cup of marinara sauce and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layering process two more times: noodles, ricotta-spinach mixture, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
For the final layer, place a layer of noodles on top, cover with the remaining marinara sauce, and sprinkle evenly with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let the lasagne rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
