Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 10 oz fresh baby spinach roughly chopped
  • 2.5 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1.25 tsp kosher salt divided
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 4 cup marinara sauce
  • 12 oz no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for heat

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Wilt the spinach in the skillet, stirring until most moisture evaporates, 3–4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt. Cool slightly.
  • Stir ricotta, 0.5 cup Parmesan, Italian seasoning, nutmeg, remaining salt, and pepper in a bowl. Fold in the cooled spinach.
  • Spread 0.75 cup marinara in the baking dish. Arrange a layer of noodles to cover.
  • Dollop and spread half of the ricotta mixture over noodles. Spoon about 1 cup marinara over it, then sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella.
  • Add a second noodle layer. Top with the remaining ricotta, 1 cup marinara, and another 1 cup mozzarella.
  • Finish with a final noodle layer. Spread remaining marinara on top, then scatter the last 1 cup mozzarella and 0.25 cup Parmesan.
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 15–18 minutes more until bubbly and lightly browned. Broil 1–2 minutes if desired.
  • Rest 10–15 minutes before slicing so the layers set. Serve warm.

Notes

Variation: Layer in sautéed mushrooms or roasted zucchini. For extra heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes between layers. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 4 days; reheat covered at 325°F until warmed through.
