Preparation:
Heat oven to 350 F.
Drain spinach; press between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Beat
cream cheese at medium speed of electric mixture until smooth. Add spinach,
ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and pepper; stir well.
Spoon 1/2 cup of pasta sauce in bottom of an 11x7x1-1/2-inch baking dish
coated with cooking spray. Top with three lasagna noodles. Spoon half of
ricotta mixture over noodles; top with half of remaining pasta sauce.
Arrange
remaining three noodles over sauce. Spoon remaining ricotta mixture over
noodles; top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Cover and bake at 350 F. for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional five
minutes, or until cheese softens. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into
serving pieces. |
