Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 sheets lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage (optional)
  • 2 cups spinach or kale (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, half of the mozzarella, and Parmesan with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Layer three lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, followed by half of the cheese mixture and half of the remaining sauce. Repeat with three more noodles, the remaining cheese mixture, and another layer of sauce.
  5. Add the final three noodles on top, covering them with the last of the marinara sauce. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve with garden salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. Leftovers taste even better the next day!
