Ingredients

  • 10 ounces spinach frozen
  • 60 ounces spaghetti sauce
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 each eggs beaten
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles
  • 18 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil optional
  • 1/2 cup vegetable juice cocktail
  • 1/2 cup water

Method

  • Thaw the spinach and squeeze dry.
  • In a large container mix the two cheeses, beaten egg, black pepper, oregano and basil.
  • Add the thawed spinach and blend well.
  • Use a 13x9 inch pan.
  • Put a small amount of the sauce in bottom and spread lightly to cover bottom.
  • This keeps the lasagna from sticking as it cooks, and enables you to remove it easily in neat portions.
  • Place one third of the uncooked noodles, one third of the sauce and one third of the cheese-spinach mix.
  • Make 3 layers this way, ending with the sauce.
  • Combine the water and vegetable juice cocktail or tomato sauce.
  • Pour this carefully around the edges of the casserole, moving the noodles slightly with a spatula to get the liquid distributed evenly.
  • Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
  • Cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake at 350F (180C) for 1 hour to 1 and 1/4 hours.
  • Remove foil and continue baking for a few minutes more, until lightly browned and bubbling.
