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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) to prepare it for baking the lasagne.
- 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.
- Add Agnolotti: Arrange a layer of spinach and ricotta agnolotti over the sauce to create the first pasta layer.
- Add Ricotta and Sauce: Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the agnolotti, then spoon more pasta sauce on top to build rich, flavorful layers.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
