Ingredients
Ingredients:
15 lasagna noodles
2 c. ricotta cheese
1 c. mozzarella cheese, freshly grated and divided
ยฝ c. parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 egg
ยฝ c. fresh parsley, chopped
8-10 oz. frozen spinach, thawed and well drained
3 c. marinara sauce, divided
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400ยฐ F.
-
Cook lasagna noodles, just shy of al dente, in salted boiling water according to package directions.ย
-
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine ricotta, 1/2 cup of grated mozzarella, parmesan, egg, and parsley in a medium mixing bowl.
-
Press the spinach in cheesecloth or between paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Add to the ricotta mixture breaking it up with your hands or a fork as you add it to the bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix well.
-
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of a large casserole dish.
-
Once the noodles have finished cooking, drain and lay in a single layer to prevent sticking together on a parchment paper lined sheet pan or other flat surface.ย
-
Spread each lasagna noodle with 2-3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture, covering the entire length of the noodle.ย
-
Once noodles are evenly covered with the ricotta mixture, roll noodles and place them into the prepared casserole dish standing upright so you can see the rolled layers on top.
-
Cover the noodles with the marinara sauce and sprinkle on the reserved mozzarella cheese.ย
-
Cover the casserole dish with a piece of aluminum foil.
-
Bake for 20 minutes.ย Uncover and bake another 10 minutes.
-
Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
