Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

  • 1 large garlic clove, crushed

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese

  • 1 large egg

  • 12 no-boil lasagna noodles

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can sliced carrots, well drained

  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can chopped spinach, well drained

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8x12-inch baking dish. Set aside.

  2. Add tomatoes, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper to a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered to blend flavors, about 10 minutes.

  3. Combine ricotta cheese and egg in a medium bowl. Set aside 1 cup sauce and 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Lightly coat the dish with tomato sauce. Place 3 noodles lengthwise across the pan. Top with 1/3 of tomato sauce. With a spatula, evenly spread 1/3 ricotta mixture. Scatter 1/3 of carrots, spinach, and mozzarella. Repeat twice more. Place remaining noodles, reserved sauce, and reserved mozzarella over the casserole. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

  4. Cover dish with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is bubbling and lightly brown, about 10 minutes longer. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.
