Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
- Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add spinach, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes. Drain spinach.
- Mix spinach, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, egg, nutmeg, basil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Spread 1/4 cup pasta sauce on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish; top with 3 lasagna noodles, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, and 1/4 cup pasta sauce. Repeat layers of 3 more noodles, 1/2 cup ricotta mixture, and 1/4 cup pasta sauce. End with remaining 3 lasagna noodles and 1/4 cup pasta sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top. Cover casserole with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Uncover casserole and continue baking until lasagna is bubbling and lightly browned, about 25 more minutes. Let lasagna stand 5 minutes before serving.

SPINACH LASAGNA (EASY NO-BOIL METHOD)
Traditional oven-baked layered lasagna, without the fuss of boiling the noodles! Comes out perfect every time. So delicious, and one of our top favorites. This lasagna is great served with a tossed salad and Mom's Onion Parmesan Bread recipe #109257 #109257, and a nice bottle of Italian Chianti or Lambrusco wine! Leftovers are yummy the following day, if you are fortunate enough to have any. NOTE: Please do not alter the liquid to solid ratio. Just follow the easy instructions for perfect lasagna, every time. P.S. Recipe can be made ahead; use a disposable aluminum pan and bake, freeze and reheat all in the same pan. Or, you can assemble the lasagna without baking it and then freeze it, baking it on the day it will be served. Enjoy!

EASY SPINACH LASAGNA
This is from my friend Judy Montagu's bi-weekly column. This lasagna is really yummy, and should be cooked for a while in a low-mid heat oven. It stays firm without any wetness, and is still creamy.

- While it is cooking, set the oven to 300 degrees F.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 2. Mix cream cheese, spinach, mozzarella, parmesan, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, if desired depending on how salty your cheese is.
- 3. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over lasagna noodles. Top with sliced tomatoes, if using. Roll. Line bottom of 9x9 baking dish with enough sauce to cover. Add rolls, seam side down. Top with remaining sauce.
- 4. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and drain it well before using.
- Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach wilts quickly, so it's important to cook it only until it is tender. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and flavorless.
- Use a good quality ricotta cheese. Ricotta cheese is the main ingredient in the filling, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a ricotta cheese that is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
- Season the filling well. The filling is what gives the lasagna its flavor, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and Italian seasoning.
- Use a variety of cheeses in the filling. In addition to ricotta cheese, you can also use Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cottage cheese in the filling. This will give the lasagna a more complex flavor.
- Don't skimp on the sauce. The sauce is what holds the lasagna together, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
- Cook the lasagna until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will ensure that the lasagna is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
Spinach lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can customize it to your own taste. Whether you are a vegetarian or a meat lover, you are sure to find a spinach lasagna recipe that you will love.
