Instructions
Creating this incredible Artichoke Spinach Lasagna is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook Noodles: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, chopped artichokes, spinach, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
4. Layering: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place three lasagna noodles over the sauce.
5. Add Filling: Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of marinara sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
6. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of noodles, followed by the remaining ricotta mixture, more marinara sauce, and half of the mozzarella cheese.
7. Final Layer: Top with the last three noodles, remaining marinara sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
8. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
10. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and enjoy!
