Ingredients

• 12 pieces lasagna noodles
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 16 ounces fresh spinach
• 16 ounces ricotta cheese
• 2 eggs
• 3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 cups marinara sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach and chop it finely.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, sautéed spinach, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Lay a single layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread one-third of the ricotta-spinach mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Spoon 1 cup of marinara sauce over the cheese. Repeat this layering process two more times.

Step 7

For the final layer, add a layer of noodles, top with the remaining marinara sauce, and sprinkle evenly with the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil does not touch the cheese to avoid sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 10

Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
