Cook Time: 75 MINUTES
Serves: 2 to 4 PEOPLE
INGREDIENTS: 7
Ingredients
- 2 cups Ricotta
- 2 lbs. spinach
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 cup tomato puree (passata)
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 1 cup pecorino cheese
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Strain ricotta over sieve to drain. Season with salt + pepper and divide into 3 equal portions.
- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add spinach. Cover and let spinach cook for 1 1/2 minutes, or until wilted. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil, chopped garlic clove, and salt until most of the moisture has evaporated.
- Mix one portion of the ricotta with the passata and one portion with the cooked spinach. Leave one portion white.
- Grease a 9x9 in. baking tray. Spread 1/3 of the spinach mixture along the bottom of the pan. Add lasagna sheets and cover with the remaining 2/3 of spinach mix and 1/4 cup of the pecorino. Add a layer of lasagna, then add plain white ricotta cheese and 1/4 cup of the pecorino. Add another layer, then top with passata and any remaining pecorino.
- Bake covered for 40 minutes, and uncovered for the last 5 (or until deep golden and bubbly).
