Crispy-Edged Sheet Pan Lasagna Bake

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 12x17-inch baking sheet with 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil for a thin, crisp sheet-pan version, or use a 9x13-inch baking dish for a cozier, “pasta bake” style.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach and salt; cook, stirring, until wilted, about 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Transfer the spinach to a bowl. Use kitchen shears to roughly chop it, then stir in the ricotta cheese. Set aside.

4. 4

   Wipe out the frying pan with a paper towel. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the sausage. Cook without stirring for 1 to 2 minutes to brown, then break the sausage apart with a spatula. Continue cooking until browned throughout, about 5 minutes. Add the red onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna sheets and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking. Drain and return to the pot. If you are not immediately mixing with the sauce mixture (next step), toss the pasta with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

6. 6

   Stir the marinara sauce into the sausage mixture. Pour the sausage and sauce into the pot with the pasta. Add 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and 1 cup Parmesan, stirring until evenly coated.

7. 7

   Spread the pasta mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet or in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Spoon or dollop the spinach-ricotta mixture across the surface.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until the cheese is golden, the sauce is bubbling, and the edges are lightly crisped, about 30 minutes.

9. 9

   Serve warm with extra marinara sauce and a sprinkle of cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
