INGREDIENTS:<\/h3>\n

2 tablespoons butter<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon minced garlic<\/p>\n

2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme<\/p>\n

6 ounces fresh spinach<\/p>\n

2 lbs. ricotta cheese (you can substitute 1 lb. whole milk and 1 lb. nonfat)<\/p>\n

1 egg<\/p>\n

1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n

1\/4 teaspoon nutmeg<\/p>\n

a squeeze of lemon juice (optional, to taste)<\/p>\n

12 no-boil lasagna noodles<\/p>\n

1 – 24 ounce jar of spaghetti or marinara sauce<\/p>\n

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese<\/p>\n

INSTRUCTIONS:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and thyme; saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach; saute until just barely wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.<\/li>\n
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, salt, nutmeg, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add the spinach and stir to combine. Transfer some of the mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times to break up some of the spinach pieces (totally optional, but makes for a really nice texture).<\/li>\n
  3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spread a little bit of tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9\u00d713 pan. Layer with 3 lasagna noodles, 1\/3 of the spinach mixture, 1\/4 of the tomato sauce, and 1\/4 of the cheese. Repeat and pour 1\/2 cup water over the two layers. Repeat once more, ending with noodles, sauce, and cheese. Pour 1\/2 cup water over the whole thing again and cover tightly with oiled foil.<\/li>\n
  4. Bake for 30-40 minutes; when the liquid is bubbling and the noodles have softened, remove the foil and bake uncovered for 10 more minutes. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving so that the lasagna noodles can soak up all the extra moisture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
