Ingredients
  • ▢ 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • ▢ 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ▢ 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • ▢ 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • ▢ 1 zucchini, chopped
  • ▢ 1 tsp. dried basil
  • ▢ 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • ▢ 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • ▢ 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
  • ▢ 4 cups packed spinach
  • ▢ 1 can (14oz) diced tomatoes
  • ▢ 1 jar (24oz) spaghetti sauce
  • ▢ 1 10oz box lasagna noodles (gluten free if needed)
  • ▢ 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • ▢ 8 oz fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
  • ▢ 6-10 fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a large (12”) skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion, pepper, and zucchini, and cook until veggies are softened (about 5 minutes). Add dried basil, oregano, onion powder, and salt. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the spinach, diced tomatoes, and spaghetti sauce. Mix in with the veggies and bring to a low boil.
Break up the lasagna noodles and stir in with the sauce. Ensure all noodles are covered in sauce. Reduce heat to low and place a lid on the skillet.
Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until noodles are done to your liking. Half-way through, stir noodles and sauce ensuring all noodles are covered in the sauce.
Once noodles are cooked, stir in the shredded mozzarella and top with the thinly sliced fresh mozzarella. Cover with lid and continue cooking on low until cheese has melted (about 3-5 minutes). Top with fresh basil if desired.
Serve and enjoy!
Tips
  • Don't skip mixing the lasagna half way through! You'll risk the veggies burning to the bottom of the pan and the noodles not cooking completely.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.

    What do you mean by "packed" spinach please?
    • Clean Plate Mama Clean Plate Mama on Feb 17, 2022

      Just that the spinach is packed (pushed down) into the measuring cup (not loosely measured) - that way you are just getting more spinach in your lasagna :)

    Made it tonight and it was delicious! Took the noodles a bit longer to get tender, but my stove may have been the reason.
