Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegetarian Spinach Lasagna Made Easy.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Prepare a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish by giving it a light spritz of cooking spray and setting it aside.
Step 3
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a vigorous boil.
Step 4
Toss in the fresh spinach and let it cook for about 2 minutes, just until it wilts.
Step 5
Use a slotted spoon to lift the spinach out, pressing gently to remove any excess water, and set it aside.
Step 6
In that same bubbling pot, add lasagna noodles and cook for approximately 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until they reach that perfect al dente texture.
Step 7
Drain the noodles and set them aside.
Step 8
In a mixing bowl, combine the wilted spinach with ricotta cheese, half a cup of shredded mozzarella, a beaten egg, a pinch of nutmeg, basil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 9
Stir until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 10
Spread a quarter cup of pasta sauce on the bottom of your prepared casserole dish.
Step 11
Layer three lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the ricotta-spinach mixture and another quarter cup of pasta sauce.
Step 12
Repeat this layering with three more noodles, the remaining ricotta-spinach mixture, and another quarter cup of sauce.
Step 13
Finish with the last three noodles, topped with the final quarter cup of sauce, and sprinkle the remaining half cup of mozzarella and a generous amount of Parmesan cheese on top.
Step 14
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and slide it into the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 15
After that, remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the lasagna is bubbling and has a delightful golden-brown crust.
Step 16
Once done, allow the lasagna to rest for 5 minutes before serving, letting the flavors meld together beautifully.
Step 17
Enjoy this comforting dish that brings warmth to any table!.
