Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Palmini Lasagna Noodles 12-14 oz package or can, 8 oz drained weight
  • 24 oz marinara or pasta sauce
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped (optional)

Equipment

  • 9 x 13-inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Divide the marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper into three equal portions.
  3. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  4. Build the first layer: Palmini noodles, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and a light sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  5. Repeat the layering two more times in the same order: marinara sauce, Palmini noodles, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper.
  6. For the final layer, top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and optional chopped parsley and basil.
  7. Bake for about 20 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is fully melted.
  8. Check after about 15 minutes and cover loosely with foil if the top is browning too quickly.

Notes

For extra flavor, allow the lasagna to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. If Palmini lasagna noodles are unavailable, thinly sliced hearts of palm can be used as a substitute.
