By cserumga

Ingredients

• 3 cups (or 1 24-ounce jar) marinara sauce
• 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
• 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
• 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves, loosely packed
• 3/4 cup roughly-chopped fresh basil leaves, loosely packed and divided
• 1/3 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking pan, spread 3/4 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the pan. Layer 3 lasagna noodles in an even layer, followed by half of the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of Mozzarella, 1 cup spinach and 1/4 cup fresh basil. Repeat with a second layer of marinara, noodles, ricotta, Mozzarella, spinach and basil. Then finish with a final layer of marinara, noodles, marinara and Mozzarella.

Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and begins to brown around the edges.

Remove and set on a cooling rack. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and the remaining fresh basil. Serve warm.
