How To Make spinach lasagna

    Boil lasagna noodles in water with a spoonful of olive oil in it. Boil only about 8 minutes. You don’t want it mushy. Drain noodles, run in cold water, and lightly coat in olive oil.

    In the meanwhile, cook Italian sausage and crumble thoroughly.
  • 3
    Mix in sauce and let simmer on low.
  • 4
    Thaw and drain spinach. Squeeze thoroughly between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • 5
    Mix together eggs, spinach, ricotta, and ½ the parmesan.

    assemble things in this order: noodles, ricotta and spinach mix, sauce mix, sliced mozzarella

    Lightly oil your casserole dish. Splash with a little of the sauce. Put a layer of noodles on the bottom. Coat with a layer of the cheese and spinach mix. Cover with a layer of the sauce. Add a thin layer of the mozzarella.
  • 8
    Keep repeating until all the ingredients are used up. Put the rest of the parmesan on top. Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour.
