Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 24 ounces Tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 16 ounces Fresh spinach leaves
• 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 16 ounces Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato sauce, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce over low heat for about 15 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a large pot, add the fresh spinach leaves and cover. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly. Squeeze out excess moisture and chop.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped spinach. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.

Step 9

Spread half of the ricotta-spinach mixture over the noodles, then sprinkle with a third of the mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Add another layer of lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of tomato sauce, the remaining ricotta-spinach mixture, and another third of the mozzarella cheese.

Step 11

Top with a final layer of lasagna noodles, the remaining tomato sauce, and the last third of the mozzarella cheese.

Step 12

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 14

Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
