Spinach lasagna is a comforting and hearty vegetarian dish layered with tender pasta, creamy cheeses, flavorful marinara, and nutritious spinach. It’s perfect for family dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 4 cups fresh spinach (or 2 cups frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened, then add garlic and cook briefly.
  4. Add the spinach and cook until wilted (or heated through if using frozen). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and seasoning. Stir in the cooked spinach mixture.
  6. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.
  7. Layer noodles, ricotta-spinach mixture, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with sauce and a topping of mozzarella and parmesan.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  10. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Drain spinach thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the lasagna.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms or zucchini for extra vegetables.
  • Use no-boil noodles to save time if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Let the lasagna rest before slicing to help layers set properly.
