Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 9–12 lasagna sheets (no‑boil or par‑boiled)

• 2 cups marinara or Bellaggio Passata

• 2 tbsp Solon or Irini extra virgin olive oil

• 1 small onion (finely chopped), 2 garlic cloves (minced)

• 12 oz (340 g) baby spinach

• 1 cup ricotta (or whipped cottage)

• 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella/Italian blend) for the melt

• 1/4 cup grated hard cheese (optional), pinch nutmeg

• Salt, pepper, oregano; basil to finish

2. Add spinach; cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper & nutmeg.

3. Mix spinach with ricotta.

4. Assemble (8–9" dish): sauce → pasta → spinach‑ricotta → a little shredded cheese. Repeat 3 layers; finish with sauce + plenty of shredded cheese on top.
