Ingredients

• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
• 500 grams Fresh spinach
• 500 grams Ricotta cheese
• 400 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 100 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 800 ml Marinara sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and the egg. Mix until smooth. Stir in the cooked spinach.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread a third of the ricotta-spinach mixture on top of the noodles, followed by a layer of marinara sauce and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process (noodles, ricotta-spinach mixture, marinara, mozzarella) two more times, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and golden-brown.

Step 11

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