Ingredients
  

  • 1 box lasagna sheets
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 12 ounces fresh spinach leaves
  • Pinch salt and black pepper
  • 7 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 12 ounces marinara sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Soak your lasagna sheets in hot water. Leave them in the water for 10 minutes while you cook the spinach and make the filling.
  • Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the spinach and cook until it wilts; about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper then let it cool. Squeeze out the excess water from the spinach and chop coarsely.
