Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 1 (24 oz) container full-fat (4%) cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (25 oz) jar thick marinara sauce
- 1 (9 oz) box no-boil lasagna noodles
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the thawed spinach in the center of a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Twist and squeeze over a sink until no more liquid comes out.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and the dry squeezed spinach. Mix well.
- Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer with: no-boil noodles (in a single layer), 1/2 of the cottage cheese-spinach mixture, 1/3 of the remaining sauce, and 1/2 cup of mozzarella.
- Repeat the layer: noodles, the rest of the cottage cheese mixture, 1/3 of the sauce, and 1/2 cup of mozzarella.
- Finish with a final layer of noodles, the rest of the sauce, and the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Squeeze the spinach thoroughly to avoid a watery lasagna.
- Use no-boil noodles for best results.
- Let the lasagna rest before slicing to set properly.
