1-Step 1: Prepare the Spinach Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add 24 ounces fresh spinach leaves in batches, cooking until wilted. Season with salt and pepper, then cool slightly, squeeze out excess water, and chop coarsely. This step is crucial to avoid a watery lasagna, as mentioned in the tips.

2-Step 2: Make the Filling Combine the chopped spinach with 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 2 eggs, 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning in a bowl. Stir well to create a flavorful mixture that holds everything together.

3-Step 3: Cook the Noodles Cook 1 box lasagna noodles according to package instructions. For more ideas on easy pasta dishes, try this berry trifle recipe for a sweet twist on layered treats.

4-Step 4: Assemble and Bake Preheat oven to 375°F and coat a 9×13 inch pan with cooking spray. Spread a small amount of 24 ounce jar marinara sauce on the bottom. Layer noodles, one-third of the cheese mixture, and one-third of the marinara sauce, repeating twice and finishing with sauce on top. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, then remove foil, add the remaining 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, and bake for 15 more minutes until browned.

5-Final Touches: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped parsley on top and let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. The total time is about 2 hours, with 45 minutes prep and 1 hour 15 minutes cook time. This method ensures a perfectly layered dish that’s golden and bubbly.
