Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
3 cups marinara sauce, divided
2 (22 ounce) packages frozen cheese ravioli
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Squeeze thawed spinach between several layers of paper towels to remove as much excess moisture as possible. Transfer spinach to a medium bowl and stir in ricotta cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
  • Pour 1 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange 1/2 of the ravioli in a single layer over the sauce. Pour 1 cup sauce over the ravioli, then spread ricotta mixture over the sauce and top with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining ravioli, remaining sauce, and remaining mozzarella.
  • Cover with parchment paper and then cover tightly with foil. Freeze for up to one month.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place frozen covered lasagna in the preheated oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Uncover and bake until golden and bubbly, about 20 more minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
