This Spinach Lasagna is a family favorite that will impress! Rich with three cheeses, it's perfect for weeknight dinners or your next gathering

📝 Ingredients

• 9 oz / 250g lasagna sheets (I've used fresh lasagna sheets)
• 3 cups marinara sauce
• 17 ounces frozen spinach (approx 2 cups once thawed) If using fresh spinach, see notes *
• 24 ounces ricotta cheese
• 5 ounces freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 9 ounces mozzarella cheese (I’ve used fresh mozzarella but shredded mozzarella is great too)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Prepare your marinara sauce if you are making your own, here is my easy recipe
2. 2If using shredded mozzarella, skip this step. If using fresh mozzarella, slice it and place over paper towels so the excess water is released.
3. 3Thaw the frozen spinach or you can also boil it for a minute to thaw quickly. Drain in a colander and ensure to squeeze out all of the excess liquid.
4. 4In a large bowl, add the spinach, ricotta, and ¾ of the freshly grated parmesan cheese. Season well with salt and black pepper and mix until well combined, ensure to give it a taste for seasoning
5. 5Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F. If using dry lasagne sheets, boil noodles as per the package instructions
6. 6--- Layer Lasagna ---
7. 7In a large baking dish, add ½ cup of the marinara sauce to the bottom then place a layer of lasagna noodles over the top
8. 8Pour over another ½ cup of the marinara sauce then top with ¼ of the spinach ricotta mixture. Gently spread it out evenly, then sprinkle with a layer of the mozzarella cheese (approximately ⅕ of the total cheese)
9. 9Add another layer of lasagna noodles, then repeat the previous step three more times so you have 4 even layers
10. 10Top with the final layer of lasagna noodles and marinara sauce. Add the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle over the remaining parmesan cheese
11. 11Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is all melted and you have those crispy golden edgesAllow it to cool for 10 minutes, garnish with fresh basil leaves then slice and serve up your glorious Spinach Lasagna!
