PERFECT SPINACH LASAGNA
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish or lasagna pan .
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with half of the drained and squeezed spinach, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, the egg, garlic powder, and salt. Mix to blend well.
- Mix the remaining half of the drained spinach with the marinara sauce .
- Spread about 1/2 to 1 cup of the marinara-spinach mixture over the bottom of the baking dish, just enough to coat the bottom.
- Top with a layer of noodles.
- Top the noodle layer with about 3/4 cup of the marinara; spread over the noodles.
- With a small spoon, put about one-third of the ricotta mixture over the sauce layer, spacing evenly in small dollops, then sprinkle with about one-quarter of the mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat, making two more layers of the noodles, sauce, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella.
- Top with another layer of noodles, the rest of the sauce, shredded mozzarella, and the remaining half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Grease a sheet of foil large enough to fit over the lasagna. Cover the lasagna tightly with the foil, greased side down. If your baking pan is very full, place a foil-lined baking sheet on a lower rack to catch spills.
- Bake the lasagna for about 45 minutes, or until very hot and you can see it is beginning to bubble.
- Remove the foil and bake for 20 to 30 minutes longer, until very hot and the cheese has melted.

THE BEST MARINARA SAUCE
I developed this recipe with a friend to make the most of a bumper crop of tomatoes. Now we like to make huge batches-we're talking 220-pounds-of- tomatoes huge-and then give jars along with a pound of pasta as gifts around the holidays. Knowing this sauce is made from the heart with the best possible ingredients makes me feel good about giving it to my family and friends. -Shannon Norris, Cudahy, Wisconsin
