instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

    2

    In a large pot, bring salted water to boil and cook the lasagna sheets according to package instructions for about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

    3

    While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 4 minutes.

    4

    Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

    5

    In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, cooked spinach, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

    6

    Spread a thin layer of the ricotta-spinach mixture on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer with lasagna sheets, more ricotta-spinach mixture, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of lasagna sheets topped with remaining mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese.

    7

    Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

    8

    Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
