1 lb. Lasagna noodles
1 15 oz. Ricotta
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan
1 lg. Egg
10 oz. Frozen Spinach
2.5 cups Marinara Sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cooking Spray as needed
Step 1: Get a large pot of water boiling, when it comes to a full boil add the lasagna noodles. Cook the noodles until they are soft but not soggy (12-15 minutes is perfectt). When they are finished cooking drain in a colander.
< Step 2: While the noodles are boiling, prepare the filling. Thaw the package of frozen spinach in the microwave and then squeeze out as much excess water as possible. In a bowl combine the spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, armesean, egg, about 1/4 tsp. of salt and then I added freshly grated pepper and mix until well combined.
Step 3: Clean a surface, prepare a glass pan with non stick cooking spray, and preheat the oven to 400. Step 4: On the clean surface lay out a few noodles. Place a few spoonfulls of filling on each noodle and spread around to make sure the filling reaches all the edges of the noodle. Don't worry about making it to thick. br>< Step 5: Roll the noodles up and place in the prepared glass pan. Repeat until all of your filling is gone. (You may have a few extra noodles but use them as back up in case any of them rip) Pour the marinara sauce ove the rolled noodles. It will keep the noodles hydrated and soft while baking so make sure to cover all surfaces. br>< Step 6: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. br> As easy as this is I was still nervous cooking for his parents for the first time, but they LOVED it! Terry and his dad were fighting over the last ones because they loved them! We had some salad and garlic bread (we can't resist) to go with it! His mom text me for the recipe the next day, thanked me for finally getting Terry to eat some greens and how she no longer has to worry about her future grandchildren because she knows they will be fully nourished! It's a favorite for us and super easy AND cheap! ENJOY!
