Cheesy No Boil Lasagna with Italian Sausage and Spinach

No boil lasagna is such an easy, and cheesy dish to make. This recipe will make one large lasagna, or 2 small lasagnas. We like making 2, so that we can have one for dinner, and another one to either gift to a neighbor, or put in the freezer for a meal later in the month!

This no boil lasagna is made with Italian sausage and fresh spinach. If you want you can make it vegetarian by using your favorite veggies, or just make it good old cheese lasagna. You could also use pepperoni instead of sausage for more of a pizza flavor.  The great thing about this is that it is so easy to assemble! Get your family to help you prepare it! Then clean up the dishes and have a glass of wine while it bakes! You could even make it the day before so that all you have to do is put it in the oven!

Ingredients

  • 9 sheets No-Boil Lasagna
  • 1 pound of Italian sausage browned, and drained
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 16 ounce container ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 16 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded and divided
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese grated
  • 8 fresh mozzarella balls
  • 4 cups Sunday sauce

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
  • Fry Italian sausage and drain on a plate with paper towels.
  • Shred the fresh mozzarella cheese, and reserve 1 ½ cups for the top of the lasagna.
  • Beat eggs in a medium glass bowl. Add ricotta, parmesan cheese, garlic, and Italian seasoning, and mix.
  • Spray 13×9″ baking pan with oil, to avoid sticking. Add about a cup of sauce and spread out.
  • Place uncooked lasagna sheets over the sauce.  Scoop spoons of ricotta mixture over sauce. Sprinkle with sausage, spinach, and shredded mozzarella. Add more sauce, and repeat the layering steps. End with a layer of lasagna sheets on top. Using your hands give a gentle press to the lasagna to push filling through and create a little room on top for one last layer of sauce. Cover with the tomato sauce and make sure all of the fry noodles are coated.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  • Remove foil, then top with the remaining 1/4 of the shredded mozzarella, and the mozzarella balls & bake uncovered for 10 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
  • May also turn on broiler for a few minutes to get a browned top. Remove from oven and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes, to help set up.
  • Serve with additional warmed up sauce over the top.

    I have never tried the no-boil pasta sheets. But if you like them, I really should. I even have some in my pantry. Thanks! I miss lasagna but I’m too lazy in my old age!
