How to Make Springtime Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. In a large skillet, sauté 10 oz fresh spinach until wilted. Drain any excess liquid.
  5. In a separate skillet, saute 1 cup chopped fresh peas until heated through.
  6. Spread a thin layer of ricotta mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the ricotta mixture.
  8. Spread half of the spinach and half of the peas over the noodles.
  9. Top with 1 1/2 cups of your favorite marinara sauce.
  10. Repeat layers: noodles, ricotta mixture, spinach, peas, marinara sauce.
  11. Top with remaining lasagna noodles and remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  12. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  13. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and lasagna is heated through.
  14. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
