Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230°C). Place a rack in the center of the oven.
- In a small saucepan, heat marinara sauce and minced garlic over medium heat. Season to taste.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine ricotta, spinach and basil. Set aside.
- Add the PVT to the hot tomato sauce. If the mixture is too thick, add more marinara sauce or canned tomato purée. Set aside.
- In an 8ʺ x 8ʺ ovenproof dish, assemble lasagna: ½ cup marinara sauce, 2 lasagna pasta halves, ⅓ cup ricotta mixture. Repeat 2 times to make 3 layers. Finish with remaining sauce and grated cheese.
