Ingredients
  

Lasagna Ingredients
  • 250 g fresh lasagna sheets Can substitute with dry lasagna sheets as needed.
  • 3 cups marinara sauce Use quality store-bought marinara for convenience.
  • 480 g frozen spinach, thawed and drained Approximately 2 cups cooked.
  • 680 g ricotta cheese Can substitute with cottage cheese for a lighter option.
  • 5 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 255 g mozzarella cheese, fresh or shredded Slice if using fresh mozzarella.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Mozzarella: Slice fresh mozzarella and let it sit on paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
  2. Thaw the Spinach: Thaw the spinach and squeeze out all excess liquid. For a quicker thaw, immerse it in boiling water for 1 minute, drain, and press dry.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta cheese, and three-quarters of the Parmesan. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). If using dry lasagna sheets, cook them according to the package instructions until al dente.
  2. Layer the Lasagna: Spread 120ml (½ cup) of marinara sauce at the base of a large baking dish. Arrange a layer of lasagna sheets over the sauce. Top with another 120ml (½ cup) of marinara sauce, a quarter of the spinach mixture, and about one-fifth of the mozzarella.
  3. Repeat Layers: Continue layering sheets, sauce, spinach filling, and mozzarella three more times for a total of four layers.
  4. Top It Off: Place the final layer of lasagna sheets, pour the remaining marinara sauce over it, and add the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
  5. Bake: Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden crisp.
  6. Serve: Allow the lasagna to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve.
