Spinach Lasagna

Ingredients:

2 egg whites.
26 oz of prepared spaghetti sauce.
24 oz of ricotta cheese.
10 oz of Lasagna noodles, cooked.
10 oz of frozen spinach, thawed and chopped, then squeezed dry.
2 cups of mozzarella cheese, grated, reserve ½ cup.
¾ cup of Parmesan cheese, grated and divided, reserve 2 tablespoons.
½ teaspoon of salt.
½ teaspoon of black pepper.
Olive oil.

Preparation Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare a 9-inch by 13-inch oven proof baking dish for lasagna.

Prepare lasagna noodles and directed on the package, then rinse and drain.

Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the noodles to prevent them from sticking together.

Combine parmesan cheese, ricotta cheeses with the egg whites, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.

Pour ¼ cup of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of the baking dish and spread it out using a spatula.

Cover the sauce with a single layer of lasagna noodles.

Spread about half the cheese mixture over the noodles, and then cover with about half of the spinach and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Finish this layer with half of the remaining spaghetti sauce.

Add a second layer of noodles, topping with the remaining cheese mixture, spinach, and mozzarella cheese.

Top with the final layer of noodles and remaining spaghetti sauce.

Sprinkle the reserved Parmesan cheese over the top and bake for thirty minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to set for 10-12 minutes, then slice and serve.
