Weeknight Spinach and Ricotta Lasagna
I think of this as “cheater’s lasagne” and I’ve been making it for years. A couple of small differences: mix the ricotta and spinach together with one egg, layer the sauce, intact noodles and ricotta mixture as you would any lasagne. Top with sauce and mozzarella. If you want to get fancy, sprinkle some Parmesan on top, too.
If you're going to go to the effort to make lasagna, use Lidia Bastianich's excellent Marina sauce recipe. It takes 20 minutes to put together and beats the stuff in the jar by a mile!
Ingredients
  • 9 ounces (dry) no-boil, oven-ready lasagna sheets
  • 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed (undrained)
  • 15 ounces whole-milk ricotta
  • 1 (24-ounce) jar pasta sauce, such as vodka or marinara
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 cup grated low-moisture mozzarella
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Handful of torn soft herbs, such as oregano, basil, or parsley, to serve
