Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
• 5 cups Fresh spinach
• 2 cups Ricotta cheese
• 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 cups Marinara sauce
• 1 large Egg
• 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and lay them flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.

Step 6

Add the cooled spinach to the ricotta mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Place 3-4 lasagna noodles in a single layer over the sauce.

Step 9

Spread 1/3 of the ricotta-spinach mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the remaining marinara sauce and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a layer of marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 11

Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil (sprayed lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking) and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 13

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