Sara's "Yankee" Spinach Lasagne

Ingredients

• 1 pound ricotta
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella.
• 1 egg
• 1 package frozen spinach, thawed
• 1 teaspoon salt (too salty, says Sara)
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• dash pepper
• 4 cups spaghetti sauce
• 9 lasagne noodles, parboiled[?] uncooked (use the very hard Italian kind, not American)
• 1 cup water

Method

1. Mix ricotta, ^1 cup^ mozzarella, egg, spinach, salt, oregano and pepper.

2. In a greased 9x13 pan layer: 1 cup sauce, 3 noodles, 1/2 of cheese mixture. Repeat. Top with remaining noodles and sauce, sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella. Pour water around edges of pan.

3. Cover tightly with foil. Bake 350 1 1/4 hours. Let sit 15 minutes before cutting. Can be prepared in the morning and refrigerated.

Note: She added that it is great made ahead in the morning — assemble it early and use the oven’s time-bake setting.
