2 cups                                   Grated mozzarella cheese, use 2 ounces per layer

Cooking Instructions 

Use one 12” x8 “ casserole dish. Any size will work as long as it is oven safe. You will need to cut the pasta sheets to fit inside the casserole dish you have.

Put a thin layer, about 4 tablespoons, of the Bolognese sauce first in the casserole dish. Place one sheet of the cooked spinach pasta on top. Next, put another layer of Bolognese sauce, a layer of béchamel sauce, and sprinkle on the grated mozzarella and grated parmigiano reggiano.  Repeat this process for each of the 7 layers of the lasagna. Make sure to top off the lasagna with a little extra of the grated mozzarella, so the pasta does not burn in the oven.

Bake the lasagna at 375 F  for about 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes prior to eating.
