Lasagna Toss with Spinach and Ricotta

There is no better comfort food than lasagna- but it can take quite some time to create! So toss in some noodles with all the fixings- and here you have our lasagna toss! 

Ingredients

1 package of lasagna noodles                       1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 package of frozen chopped spinach          2 garlic cloves, crushed with press
1 cup ricotta cheese                                      roma tomatoes 
1 tbsp. olive oil                                             Spices: salt, ground pepper
Grated parmesan cheese                               basil leaves

Process   

In pot, cook lasagna noodles, extending cooking time to 12-14 minutes. 

In skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally until tender for about 10 minutes. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes, salt, pepper, breaking up tomatoes with the side of the spoon- heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered, for about 8 minutes. Add frozen spinach and cook until spinach is tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in basil.

Drain noodles and return to pot. Add the tomato mixture and parmesan, toss well. 

Spoon into bowls- add ricotta cheese and extra parmesan. 

Eat. Share. Enjoy.
