Ingredients

Scale

9 no-boil lasagna noodles
1 lb ground turkey or beef
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
3 cups tomato sauce (homemade or store-bought)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground meat until fully cooked; drain excess fat and season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce in the baking dish. Layer three noodles, half the meat mixture, half the ricotta mixture, half the spinach, and one cup of mozzarella. Repeat layers and finish with remaining noodles topped with sauce and mozzarella.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes; uncover for an additional 10 minutes to achieve a golden top.
Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
