I love lasagna, but we don't have it very often. As I was flipping through the most recent Taste of Home, I saw this picture and it jumped right off the page begging to be made! It was delicious!! I've never had spinach in my lasagna before, but I couldn't even taste it. This recipe will be added to "Make Again" collection. Enjoy!
12 lasagna noodles, uncooked
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 pkg (16 oz.) Johnsonville® Italian Ground Sausage
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 jar (24 oz.) Classico® Four Cheese Pasta Sauce
4 cups ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach, lightly packed and chopped
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp. dried oregano
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain, lightly oil and set aside.
In a medium sauce pan, sauté the sausage, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink. Add onion and garlic and continue sautéing for another 4 minutes until the sausage is cooked through.
Add pasta sauce to the sausage mixture and set aside. In a medium bowl, blend ricotta cheese, egg, 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese and the chopped spinach; set aside.
Coat a 9x13” baking dish with olive oil and spread 1 cup of the sauce mixture on the bottom. Top with 3 lasagna noodles. Spread 1/4 of the ricotta cheese mixture on the noodles and layer on 1 cup of the sauce mixture. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese over this. Repeat this process three more times starting with the noodles and finish with the remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with oregano.
Preheat oven to 350° and bake for 45 minutes until hot and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: Serves 6-8.
