Base Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely grated or minced
  • 1 pound fresh spinach leaves about 10 cups
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese about 2 cups
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 24 ounces jar pasta sauce or 3 cups homemade marinara sauce
  • 12 sheets no-boil oven-ready lasagna noodles
  • ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese about 1 ounce
  • 1 ¼ cups grated mozzarella cheese about 5 ounces
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of oil.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions become translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, spinach leaves, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook until spinach is bright green and wilted.
  • In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper until well blended.
  • Spread 1 cup of pasta sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange three noodles lengthwise to cover the bottom. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, sprinkle with one-third of the parmesan and mozzarella. Add half of the spinach mixture, top with about ½ cup of marinara sauce. Add a second layer of noodles and repeat with the remaining ricotta, another one-third of parmesan and mozzarella, remaining spinach, and the other ½ cup of sauce. Finish with a third layer of noodles and top with the remaining sauce, parmesan, and mozzarella.
  • Loosely cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and browned around the edges. For a cheesy, golden-brown top, slide the lasagna uncovered under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

Can use frozen spinach instead of fresh. Leftovers last in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for 3 months. Can assemble and store unbaked in the fridge for up to 2 days.
