Spinach Lasagna

Looking for a hearty vegetarian main course? This spinach lasagna recipe features layers of noodles stuffed with tender spinach and a creamy, cheesy filling.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups reduced-fat ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 jar (24 ounces) pasta sauce
  • 9 no-cook lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Mix together the egg, ricotta, 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, feta, Parmesan, basil, garlic and pepper.
  • Spread 1/2 cup pasta sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with 3 lasagna noodles, 3/4 cup ricotta mixture, 1 cup spinach and 2/3 cup sauce. Repeat layers twice. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
