Super-Fast Spinach, Pesto and Cheese Lasagna

No-boil noodles makes this delicious lasagna super speedy to put together. I use a potato ricer to quickly squeeze the spinach dry. Love eating my spinach this way!

Ingredients

• 3  cups ricotta cheese
• 1  cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Blend ricotta and Parmesan in a medium bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper; stir in egg.
3. Blend spinach and pesto in another medium bowl.
4. Brush a 13x9x2" glass baking dish with oil. Spread 1 cup of the prepared pasta sauce in the dish. Arrange 3 noodles side by side on top of the sauce. Spread 1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles in a thin layer. Layer 1/3 of the spinach mixture on top of that.
