Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 2 X 10 oz boxes frozen spinach
  • 5 garlic cloves (large, chopped)
  • 1 onion (medium, chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 x 15 oz can ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg (large)
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 x 16 oz can marinara sauce
  • 12-13 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • fresh rosemary (to garnish (optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
  • In a pan on medium heat, add oil and butter. Once it melts add chopped garlic.
  • Saute garlic for few seconds, till you start getting a nice aroma and then add chopped onions.
  • Saute onions for 1-2 minutes or till they become translucent.
  • Add chopped spinach [note: I cooked/thawed my frozen spinach according to instructions on the package before adding to the pan] to the pan and mix. Cook till there's no moisture left. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Transfer the spinach mixture to a large bowl. Add parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese to it.
  • Also add 1 egg, dried oregano and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix everything till well combined.
  • And now basically you have to make layers using 3 ingredients - marinara sauce [divide in 3 equal parts], lasagna noodles and the spinach-ricotta mixture [divide in 3 equal parts].
  • Start by pouring some marinara sauce on the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch pan.
  • Then place 3 lasagna noodles on top of it [1st layer of noodles]. I used little more than 3 noodles to cover the pan.
  • Cover the noodles with the spinach ricotta mixture next.
  • And keep making layers using spinach ricotta mix, lasagna noodles and marinara sauce. [See above for detailed pictures].
  • After all layers are done, top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Coat one side of a large aluminium foil with non-stick pray and cover the pan with the foil (with the oil side facing down).
  • Bake at 350 F degrees for 40-45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake additional 15 minutes or till top is browned.
  • Take out of the oven and let the spinach lasagna cool down for 20 minutes before serving.
  • Cut into squares and serve immediately. I sprinkled some fresh rosemary on top.
