This Easy Spinach Lasagna is a smaller batch lasagna recipe made with no boil noodles. It’s a great, quick and easy weeknight dinner recipe!

If you’re looking for a traditional, tall layer lasagna that is filled with meats and cheeses and red sauce then this isn’t the lasagna you’re looking for. This Easy Spinach Lasagna is quite a bit lighter and it’s a lower fat option when compared to a traditional lasagna. It’s divided by layers of  spinach and ricotta cheese, and it uses a white sauce instead of red.

How to make Easy Spinach Lasagna:

Since this is a smaller batch lasagna, you will need an 11×7-inch dish for this recipe. Amazon can deliver the one that I linked for you the same day in many cities. I love that convenience!

First you’ll make the white sauce. Onions are sautéed, and then flour is stirred in. 1% milk, salt and pepper are added last. The sauce is heated until slightly thickened and hot (about 5 minutes.) One cup of sauce is spread into the bottom of the pan, then 3 no-boil lasagna noodles are laid on top. Half of the ricotta filling is spread on top of the noodles (a mix of ricotta, spinach, egg white and nutmeg). Then layer one more cup of sauce, more lasagna noodles, the rest of the filling, and another cup of sauce. The remaining noodles are placed on top and the remaining sauce too.

Optional add-ins:

Since this recipe is designed to be much lighter than the lasagna you’re probably used to eating, it doesn’t have extra cheeses in it. If you want this lasagna to be cheesy, add shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses to each layer. Add it to the top too. It will be extra cheesy this way!

The recipe makes 6 servings. If you’re a hungry bunch, it’s perfect for three people with room for a second helping. And if you’re a couple, it’s a good one for enjoying lunch leftovers the following day.

Weight Watchers friendly lasagna:

As written, this Easy Spinach Lasagna is one that works for the WW program. Each piece of lasagna (the whole thing divided into 6 servings) counts as 9 points on any color plan. That’s a hefty point count to use, but it’s pasta so that makes it higher. Any additional (optional) cheeses that you add to the lasagna should be counted as extra points.
