Description

A rich lasagna layered with spinach, creamy Alfredo sauce, and pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box lasagna noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 24 ounces Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, squeezed spinach, egg, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Arrange a layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  7. Spread half of the ricotta-spinach mixture over the noodles. Top with one-third of the mozzarella cheese and one-third of the remaining Alfredo sauce.
  8. Repeat the layers: noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, one-third of the mozzarella, and one-third of the Alfredo sauce.
  9. Place the final layer of noodles on top. Cover with the remaining Alfredo sauce and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and a little extra Parmesan cheese.
  10. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  11. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  12. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the thawed spinach to prevent a watery lasagna.
  • You can substitute fresh spinach by wilting 10 ounces of fresh spinach and then squeezing out the moisture.
