the first thing my mother bought me when i moved into my own apartment after college was a lasagna pan. and then she gave me her easy vegetarian lasagna recipe so i would hopefully use it and have something besides veggie burgers and lara bars to eat (i was a vegetarian that did not know how to cook at the time). it’s cheesy, there’s always leftovers, it’s great to freeze for later, and reminds me of my mother. i made it this week and it’s better than i remember. here it is.
ingredients
- two jars of pasta sauce (i go for the classico brand. lots of flavorful options.)
- lasagna noodles
- one container of ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan
- 1 egg
- two handfuls of fresh spinach leaves
- mozzarella cheese
- optional: slices of tomato for garnish
directions
- heat oven to 350
- mix together the ricotta, parmesan, and egg
- in 9 x 13 pan, put a little sauce on the bottom
- fill bottom w a layer of noodles
- spread 1/2 of the cheese/egg mixture
- layer of spinach
- layer of mozzarella
- big layer of sauce.
- layer of noodles
- spread 1/2 of the cheese/egg mixture

- layer of mozzarella

- little more mozzarella
- spinach to garnish (optional: slices of tomato to garnish)
- bake at 350 for 1 hour – and then let it sit for at least 20 minutes before cutting
