🥬Step-by-Step: Lasagna in 5 Layers
1. Prep the Cheeses
Use the cheese grater hand crank with the fine shred blade for fluffy Parmesan and the coarse blade for mozzarella. Mix ricotta, squeezed spinach, egg, shredded Parmesan, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg in a bowl until smooth.
2. Make the Sauce
Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened. Stir in fresh basil if desired.
3. Assemble the Layers
Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
Layer 1: Noodles
Layer 2: Ricotta-spinach mixture
Layer 3: Sauce + shredded mozzarella
Repeat until ingredients are used, ending with sauce and a generous topping of both cheeses.
4. Bake to Perfection
Cover with foil and bake until bubbly. Remove foil for the last few minutes to brown the top.
5. Rest & Serve
Let the lasagna rest before slicing—this helps the layers set. Serve with garlic bread and a simple green salad.
