Description

A quick and clever lasagne made with spinach and ricotta agnolotti replacing traditional pasta sheets, delivering all the comforting flavors of classic lasagne with significantly less effort. Perfect for a wholesome weeknight dinner with layers of cheesy ricotta, rich tomato sauce, and gooey mozzarella.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 500 g spinach and ricotta agnolotti
  • 2 cups jarred pasta sauce
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) to prepare it for baking the lasagne.
  2. Layer Sauce: Spread a thin layer of the jarred pasta sauce evenly over the base of a baking dish; this prevents sticking and adds flavor.
  3. Add Agnolotti: Arrange a layer of spinach and ricotta agnolotti over the sauce to create the first pasta layer.
  4. Add Ricotta and Sauce: Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the agnolotti, then spoon more pasta sauce on top to build rich, flavorful layers.
  5. Repeat Layers: Continue layering agnolotti, ricotta, and sauce until your ingredients are used up, finishing with a generous topping of pasta sauce and then the grated mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.
  6. Bake: Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese topping is golden and melted.
  7. Rest: Once baked, let the lasagne rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and layers to set.

Notes

  • Let the lasagne rest for 5 minutes after baking to achieve better slicing and enhanced flavor.
  • For added texture and flavor, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or zucchini between the layers.
