Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh spinach
• 450 grams Ricotta cheese
• 100 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 250 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles (oven-ready)
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 500 milliliters Whole milk
• 1 pinch Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 700 milliliters Marinara sauce
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and then sauté it with olive oil and minced garlic over medium heat until wilted (about 3-5 minutes). Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, the cooked spinach, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

To make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with a pinch of salt and nutmeg, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 7

Place a single layer of lasagna noodles over the marinara sauce.

Step 8

Spread a portion of the spinach-ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of béchamel sauce and a sprinkling of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Repeat the layers (marinara, noodles, ricotta-spinach, béchamel, mozzarella) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of marinara and mozzarella on top.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.

Step 13

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