Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the lasagna noodles and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil in the lasagna pot or in a large bowl, and set aside.

Drizzle a little olive oil into a large skillet; set over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 2 cups spinach and cook until just wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan, roughly chop the spinach with kitchen shears, then transfer to a small bowl and stir in the ricotta and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

In the same skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles, about 5 minutes. Add the artichokes and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the remaining spinach and cook until just wilted.

Pour the sausage mixture into the lasagna noodles. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan and half of the mozzarella. Mix until the cheese is melted and the lasagna noodles are fully coated.
- 6
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease an 18x13-inch baking sheet or a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- 7
Spread the pasta mixture evenly over the prepared pan. Dollop the ricotta–spinach mixture on top. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan evenly over the entire surface.
- 8
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Optionally, for a deeper golden crust, switch on the oven broiler and broil the top for 1 to 2 minutes at the end. Let cool slightly, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and cut into squares to serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
