Ingredients

  • 13 oz can basil flavored tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 oz sliced olives, drained
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 4-6 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 2 1/2 cups mozzarella, shredded
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 5 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine tomato sauce, olives and water and mix well.
  • In another bowl, combine ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and oregano, mix until combined.
  • Prepare your lasagna dish. Spread 1/2 cup of sauce on the bottom of the dish. Arrange half of your lasagna noodles over the sauce, top noodles with 1/2 ricotta mixture, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, 1/2 of crumbled feta and spinach. Continue layering all remaining ingredients in the same order.
  • Pour all remaining sauce on top. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge overnight.
  • On the next day uncover your lasagna and bake for 35 minutes. Take out of the oven, sprinkle with the remaining cup of mozzarella and return back to the oven for an additional 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
  • Let sit 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • There's a secret how to make perfect lasagna. Always follow this order: sauce, noodle, filling, repeat! Remember it.
  • You can cover your lasagna with foil while baking first 35 minutes. If you leave your lasagna uncovered, it may become dry. Remove the foil before adding mozzarella and continue to cook.
  • If your lasagna is cooked, but the top still looks pale, turn on the broiler for a few minutes. Take out from the oven once golden.
