  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!

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.
