Roasted Red Pepper & Spinach Lasagna image

This meatless lasagna is really rich and full of flavor. The spinach is great with the combination of cheeses and the roasted red pepper gives a nice crunch. This is a great vegetarian entree. Easy to throw together and so tasty!

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box lasagna noodles, cooked
2 can(s) pasta sauce (24 oz each)
16 oz bag(s) frozen spinach, thawed and water removed
1 jar(s) roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1 pkg ricotta cheese (32 oz)
1 bag(s) mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
1/2 c chopped onion
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1/2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 c Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Boil lasagna noodles. Set aside.
  • 2. Thaw and drain spinach well.
  • 3. Saute the chopped onion and minced garlic in a small skillet with a pat of butter. Add onion and garlic to the sauce. Simmer all on top of the stove in a saucepan. Add the Italian seasoning and I also add just a pinch of sugar to my sauce to cut some of the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • 4. Spoon 2 Tbsp of pasta sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Place 3 to 4 lasagna noodles side by side, touching over the 2 Tbsp sauce. Cover noodles with a thin layer of sauce. Sprinkle 1/3 of the spinach on the sauce, then 1/3 of the peppers. Top with 1/3 of the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat layers two more times ending with the cheeses.
  • 5. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes.
