Ingredients

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

  3. 3

    In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.

  5. 5

    Add a layer of marinara sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layering process with 3 more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, more marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese.

  6. 6

    Top with the final 3 noodles, the remaining marinara sauce, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

  7. 7

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.

  8. 8

    Allow lasagna to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
