Ingredients

  • 12 sheets lasagna noodles
  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 10 oz spinach
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook the 12 lasagna noodles in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes; drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the 1 lb sausage, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the 10 oz spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, mix the 15 oz ricotta with half of the 2 cups mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Spread 1 cup of the 3 cups marinara in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer 4 noodles, half the ricotta mixture, half the sausage-spinach mixture, and 1 cup marinara. Repeat layers, then top with remaining 4 noodles and remaining 1 cup marinara.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and the 0.5 cup breadcrumbs over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake until bubbly and golden, about 15 more minutes.

  6. 6

    Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
