Steps:
- Heat the EVOO in a saucepot and add the butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and crush them up a bit. Add the passata, a fat handful of torn basil leaves, the onion and some salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the onion and set the sauce aside.
- Separate the spinach while adding it to a mixing bowl. Add half of the mozzarella, the ricotta, 1 1/2 cups of the Parmigiano-Reggiano and the eggs yolks and mix to combine. Season with grated nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Layer a little sauce into a lasagna pan and top with three flat lasagna sheets or four curly. Top with a little more sauce, and then half of the spinach and cheese mixture. Repeat with another layer, and end on top with lasagna sheets. Top with some sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
- The lasagna can be stored before or after baking for a make-ahead meal, or baked to serve immediately. When baking the first time, bake at 375 degrees F, uncovered, from room temperature until cooked through and brown and bubbling on top, 60 to 70 minutes. If reheating, bake at 375 degrees F, covered, for 40 to 45 minutes.
- Let the lasagna rest 20 minutes before cutting. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

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.

Steps:
- Chop the onion and peppers into small pieces.
- Fry lightly in the olive oil for a few minutes and add some black pepper.

- Heat until a few bubbles appear and slowly add the puree, then all the parsley except a little for decoration.

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

- Top with a layer of the spinach mix.
- Smooth it out and add another layer of pasta.
- Keep doing this- alternating red and green- until no more sauce is left.
- The last layer of pasta must have a little sauce on it to keep it moist.
- Cover with the cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 1 1/2 hours.
- When the lasagne is done it needs to sit about 3 minutes before being sprinkled with parsley and served with a fresh green salad and a glass of dry red wine.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- If you don't have ricotta cheese, you can substitute cottage cheese or cream cheese.
- Use a variety of cheeses in the filling for a more complex flavor. Some good options include mozzarella, Parmesan, and Romano.
- Don't overcook the lasagna. It should be cooked through but still have a little bit of a bite to it.
- Let the lasagna cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to cut.
