Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cups Marinara sauce
- 4 cups Spinach, fresh
- 1 large Zucchini, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of olive oil.
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for consistent results.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Arrange a layer of potato slices over the sauce, slightly overlapping the edges. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta cheese over the potato layer, then sprinkle with 1/3 of the mozzarella and a small handful of Parmesan cheese.
Add a layer of sautéed spinach and a few slices of zucchini on top of the cheese layer.
Repeat the layers (sauce, potato, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, zucchini) two more times, ending with a final layer of marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Potato Lasagna!
