Spinach Lasagna - Dinner at the Zoo

Ingredients:

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups packed fresh spinach, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, chopped spinach, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  5. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by one-third of the mozzarella and a layer of marinara sauce. Repeat the layers, starting with noodles, ricotta mixture, mozzarella, and sauce, until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of sauce and topped with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil (preventing direct contact with cheese) and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set.
  9. Serve warm, garnished with additional grated Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
