Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • large skillet
  • medium bowl

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms chopped
  • 1 clove garlic finely grated or minced
  • 1 pound fresh spinach leaves about 10 cups
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese about 2 cups
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 24 ounces pasta sauce or 3 cups homemade marinara sauce
  • 12 sheets no-boil oven-ready lasagna noodles
  • ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese 1 ounce
  • 1 ¼ cups grated mozzarella cheese 5 ounces
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of oil.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, spinach leaves, and ¼ teaspoon of salt, cooking until spinach is bright green and wilted.
  • In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper until well blended.
  • Spread 1 cup of pasta sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange three noodles lengthwise to cover the bottom. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with one-third of the parmesan and one-third of the mozzarella. Add half of the spinach mixture, then top with about ½ cup of marinara sauce. Add a second layer of noodles and repeat with the remaining ricotta, another one-third of the parmesan and mozzarella, the remaining spinach, and another ½ cup of sauce. Finish with a third layer of noodles and top with the remaining sauce, parmesan, and mozzarella.
  • Loosely cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and browned. For a cheesy, golden-brown top, slide the lasagna uncovered under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

Leftover spinach lasagna lasts in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Assemble it and store the unbaked lasagna in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, bake at 400°F for 30 minutes to an hour.
