Welcome to StartCooking.com.

I'm Kathy Maister.

Today, I'm going to show you how to make spinach lasagna.

You could also make this with ground beef or turkey sausage.

Check my blog to see how.

We're going to be using no-boil lasagna noodles, store-bought pasta sauce, and pre-shredded cheese, all of which are huge time savers

when making this dish. All of the other ingredients and equipment are listed at the end

of this video. Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. The spinach and ricotta cheese

layer needs to get prepared. Then we can start assembling the lasagna. Defrost one 10 ounce box of

spinach in the microwave. That should take about two minutes. Drain the spinach in a colander

and then put it in a couple layers of paper towel. Squeeze out the remaining liquid from the spinach.

Perfect. Dry as a bone. Put two eggs in a medium mixing bowl. With a fork, lightly beat the eggs.

Now add 15 ounces of ricotta cheese, the squeezed dried spinach, one half cup of grated

parmesan cheese, one teaspoon of oregano, one teaspoon of salt, and one quarter teaspoon of

ground pepper. With a spoon, mix everything together so that it's well blended.

Now we're ready to start layering the lasagna.

Use a pan that measures 9 inches wide by 13 inches long by 2 inches high.

Okay, layer 1.

Measure 3 4th cup of the sauce and, with the back of of a spoon spread it on the bottom of the pan.

This is so the lasagna doesn't stick to the pan.

From now on, the layering order is going to be

pasta sauce cheeses, pasta sauce cheeses, and pasta sauce cheeses.
