Serves 12

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1/4 cup finely minced sweet onion

1 teaspoon fresh minced oregano

1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme

6 ounces fresh spinach

2 pounds ricotta cheese

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional, to taste)

12 no-boil lasagna noodles

24 ounces spaghetti or marinara sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese



Topping

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese

Melt the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, oregano and thyme. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and saute until just barely wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, salt, nutmeg, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add the spinach mixture and stir to combine. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spread a little bit of tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9" x 13" pan. Layer with 4 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the spinach mixture, 1/3 of the tomato sauce, and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat and pour 1/2 cup water over the two layers. Repeat once more, ending with noodles, sauce, and cheese. Pour another 1/2 cup water over the whole thing again and cover tightly with foil (sprayed with a little vegetable cooking spray). Bake for 30-40 minutes. When the liquid is bubbling and the noodles have softened, remove the foil and bake uncovered for 10 more minutes. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving so that the lasagna noodles can soak up all the extra moisture. I like to have an extra cup of the marinara sauce to drizzle over each individual serving and top with freshly shredded parmesan.
