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.
- 3
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.
- 4
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.
- 5
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 recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
