I will skip the pleasantries and get right into it. Below is super simple but tasty recipe for spinach lasagna. Add in chicken or mushrooms for extra substance.
Ingredients:
- ½ lb Lasagna Noodles (Takes approx. 10 noodles)
- 1 lb Ricotta
- 1 c Monterey Jack
- ½ c Grated Parmesan
- 20 oz. Frozen Spinach, thawed and drained (a 16 oz bag will work too)
- Sauce of choice
Instructions:
- Cover bottom of lasagna pan with 1/3 of the sauce. Arrange layer of uncooked noodles on bottom.
- Cover with second 1/3 of the sauce.
- Combine ricotta, parmesan and spinach and spoon ½ of the mixture over the noodles.
- Put a second layer of noodles over the cheese mixture, then the rest of the cheese mixture.
- Cover with the remaining sauce.
- Top with the Monterey Jack & cover with foil (domed so that the cheese doesn’t stick to the top)
- Bake 45 Minutes at 375 degrees.
- Remove foil and bake 20 minutes more.
Allow to set for just a few before cutting to serve & enjoy!

This sounds amazing!! So nice to see fellow green moms. 🙂 I am a new follower, I would lvoe for you to follow back and we can see what each other has to offer. 🙂 http://southernfriedgreenmom.blogspot.com/
Have you ever tried freezing this? If I assembled and froze it (instead of baking right away), would it still turn out?
I haven't frozen this one (or any) but I have had other frozen vegetable lasagnas that were great. I can't see why this one wouldn't work 🙂
As a side note, I've also considered adding chicken to this lasagna for some variation.
We are definitely going to have to try this! It sounds amazing! Yum! 🙂 My oldest loves spinach, and my husband is trying to like it. 😛
Have you tried this with fresh spinach?
I keep meaning to but haven’t yet. I would suggest wilting the spinach to make mixing easy. I’m not quite sure how much it would take, though I’d probably try somewhere between 1 and 2 lbs fresh.
this looks delicious, I’ve been meaning to add either spinach or chard to my lasagne for a while so this will definitely get me going on this.
this looks delicious. we eat a lot of spinach here so this recipe would be a huge hit. thanks for sharing

I love putting spinach in all my casseroles, so I will have to try this!
This sounds yummy! If only my husband would go for spinach!
Yummy! Love a good vegetarian lasagna. I think I will try to make a double batch and freeze one 🙂 With baby coming in March, I’m trying to stock up the freezer 😉
