Ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) spinach thawed, frozen, chopped, package
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese (or sub with 16 ounces small curd cottage cheese, excess liquid strained)
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese divided, shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese divided, grated
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil, chopped, fresh
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch nutmeg ground
- 2 ¾ cups marinara sauce from a large 45-ounce jar or from 2 smaller jars, store-bought or homemade
- 9 lasagna noodles oven-ready, no-boil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a deep 9 x 13-inch baking dish; set aside. Squeeze all of the liquid out of the spinach. I like to use a dish towel for this, and just keep squeezing until you wring out as much water as possible. Place spinach in a large bowl. Add ricotta, 1 cup of the mozzarella, ¼ cup of the Parmesan, egg, basil, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and nutmeg to the bowl with the spinach. Stir really well with a fork to combine.
- Spread about ½ cup of the marinara sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with 3 no-boil lasagna noodles (or as many as you need to cover a single layer in the dish), ½ of the ricotta mixture, and ¾ cup of marinara sauce.
- Add 3 more noodles to the dish, the remaining ½ of the ricotta mixture, and ¾ cup of marinara sauce. Finally, add another layer of 3 noodles, spread remaining ¾ cup of marinara sauce on top, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil, and bake for another 5-10 minutes (or until heated through and cheese on top is browned). Let stand for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Cooking for Two? Divide the full recipe between two smaller 8-inch square baking dishes. That way you get two meals with the same amount of effort, and you can freeze one for a later date. Alternatively, you can cut all of the ingredients in half and prepare one lasagna in an 8-inch square dish. The baking instructions remain the same.
