  2. Prepare Spinach Mixture:

    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    • Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.

    • Layer 3 lasagna noodles, half of the ricotta mixture, half of the spinach mixture, and a third of the mozzarella cheese.

    • Repeat layers, ending with noodles and remaining marinara sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

👉🏻✨TIPS

  • Cheese Variation: Use a blend of cheeses like provolone or fontina for a richer flavor.
