4 cups tomato sauce, homemade or jarred, your choice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cook lasagna noodles to al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • Drain noodles & hang to dry separately (so they do no stick to one another).
  • Heat olive oil with garlic in a saucepan until garlic is fragrant & sizzling.

  • Remove spinach from heat and allow to cool.
  • Mix together beaten egg, ricotta, goat cheese, ½ cup Parmesan or Romano cheese, 2 cups of mozzarella, cooled spinach & garlic and salt & pepper.
  • Spread bottom of 9 x 13 inch baking dish with about ½ cup of tomato sauce.
  • Lay down 3 lasagna noodles, lengthwise, next to each other but not overlapping.
  • Spoon a third of the cheese/spinach mixture onto noodles and spread out onto noodles.
  • Spoon ½- ¾ cup of tomato sauce on top of cheese/spinach mixture.
  • Repeat with another 2 layers of noodles, cheese/spinach mixture and sauce.

  • Bake in pre-heated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
  • Allow cooked lasagna to cool for 25 minutes before cutting and serving.

Tips:

  • For a creamy and flavorful lasagna, choose high-quality cheeses that melt well, such as mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
  • To prevent the lasagna from becoming dry, make sure to use a generous amount of sauce and spread it evenly between the layers.
  • If you want a crispy lasagna, cook it at a high temperature for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
  • To make the lasagna ahead of time, assemble it and bake it as directed, then let it cool completely. Cover the lasagna tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • When you're ready to serve the lasagna, reheat it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until it's warmed through.
