Ingredients
  

  • 9 ounces of mozzarella cheese either in its fresh form or as shredded pieces.
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 17 oz frozen spinach approx. 2 cups once thawed, drained, and squeezed of excess water
  • 24 oz ricotta cheese
  • 5 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 9 oz mozzarella cheese fresh or shredded

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spinach:

  • If using frozen spinach, thaw it and squeeze out any excess water.
  • If using fresh spinach, sauté it in a little olive oil until wilted, then squeeze out the liquid.
  • Set the prepared spinach aside.

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Cheese Mixture:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 3 oz of the grated Parmesan, and half of the mozzarella cheese.
  • Stir in the prepared spinach and season with a little salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Lasagna:

  • Spread ½ cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch (or similar size) baking dish.
  • Layer lasagna sheets over the sauce, ensuring they cover the surface without overlapping.
  • Spread ⅓ of the spinach and ricotta mixture over the lasagna sheets, followed by another ½ cup of marinara sauce.
  • Repeat the process until you've assembled 3-4 layers, finishing with a final layer of lasagna sheets and the remaining marinara sauce.

Top with Cheese:

  • Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses over the top of the assembled lasagna.

Bake:

  • Seal the dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the oven to bake for 25 minutes.
  • Once the time is up, take off the foil and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and has turned a lovely golden brown.

Rest and Serve:

  • Allow the lasagna to sit for 10 minutes to set before cutting into portions and serving.
  • Enjoy this cheesy, spinach-filled goodness with a side salad or garlic bread!
