Ingredients

• 9 lasagna noodles
• 2 cups ricotta cheese
• 3 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

How to Make Spinach and Ricotta Lasagna

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
4. In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.
5. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta and spinach mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of marinara sauce. Sprinkle with a third of the mozzarella cheese.
6. Repeat the layering process with another 3 noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, more marinara, and another third of the mozzarella cheese.
7. Top with the final 3 noodles, the remaining marinara sauce, and the last third of mozzarella cheese.
8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
9. While the lasagna is baking, prepare the berry sauce by combining fresh raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the raspberries break down into a sauce. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
10. Once the lasagna is done, let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve each slice drizzled with the berry sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to chop the spinach finely to integrate it well with the ricotta.
• Allow the lasagna to rest before slicing to help it hold its shape.
• Feel free to use store-bought marinara sauce or make your own for a fresh taste.

Easy Variations

• Add sautéed mushrooms or zucchini for extra vegetables.
• Substitute cottage cheese for ricotta for a lighter option.
• Experiment with different types of cheese, such as goat cheese or feta, for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with vinaigrette
• Garlic bread or breadsticks
• Steamed vegetables, such as broccoli or green beans
