Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large

Ingredients
  

Spinach Mixture

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach washed and chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Lasagna Layers

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat, drain excess liquid.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, egg, and nutmeg. Stir until well blended.
  • Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.
  • Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread a portion of the spinach mixture over the noodles, followed by mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce and remaining mozzarella.

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Serving

  • Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy with a fresh salad or garlic bread.

Storage

  • Allow lasagna to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
