INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO MAKE THE CLASSIC SPINACH MARINARA SAUCE:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring frequently, until it just turns golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, spinach, Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-9 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the butter until melted and set aside.

INSTRUCTION HOW TO MAKE NO BAKE LASAGNA:

  • Heat the olive oil in a wide semi-deep pot over medium-high heat. You can also use a dutch oven.
  • Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms, Marinara, and 3 cups water and bring to a boil.
  • Add in the fresh lasagna pasta or farfalle pasta and stir.
  • Partially cover the pot and cook stirring occasionally until the pasta is cooked and the sauce has thickened about 20 minutes.
  • Add in the ricotta cheese and the Romano cheese and stir them in.
  • Final step, add the mozzarella over the top and cover until cheese melts about 5 minutes.
  • Enjoy and serve alongside a salad
