MMMmonday - Lasagna Florentine w/ linky

This is another yummy recipe from my favorite place - Chef Joe at WWRecipes - I've had this on in my repitoire since 2006 and it's easy and so yummy!


Lasagna Florentine


1 egg
2 cups (500 ml) ricotta cheese
1/2 cup (125 ml) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 10-oz (280 g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
4 cups (1 L) bottled or homemade spaghetti sauce
9 uncooked lasagna noodles
3 cups (750 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese

Combine the egg, ricotta, and Parmesan in a mixing bowl, stirring to combine. Stir in the spinach. Spread one third of the spaghetti sauce over the bottom of a 12x8 inch (30x20 cm) baking dish. 
Place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles on top, top with half the ricotta mixture and one third of the mozzarella. 

Spread half the remaining spaghetti sauce on top. Add 3 more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, and half the remaining mozzarella. 
Top with the remaining noodles, spaghetti sauce, and mozzarella. 
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven until the noodles are tender, 45 to 50 minutes. 
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. 
Serves 6 to 8.


My notes:  I have also made this with fresh baby spinach and that is yummy too - use whatever you have on hand!

Yumm sounds fantastic! I have trouble with noodles cooking the whole way but I see you covered yours tightly with foil where use a dome shaped lid.

Love the addition of spinach to lasagna! I'm not much of a veggie lover usually - and won't eat spinach on it's own EVER!! Lol. But in a pasta dish, it rocks :)
