Note
Ensure the frozen spinach is thoroughly thawed and squeezed dry to prevent a watery lasagne.
If using no-boil noodles, you may need to add a little extra sauce or water to the dish to ensure the pasta cooks properly.
For a vegan version, substitute the ricotta with a vegan alternative and omit the eggs, using a flax egg binder if desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
You can freeze unbaked lasagne for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
