  • 15 oz (425g) Whole milk ricotta
  • 8 oz (226g) Cream cheese Softened
  • 1/2 cup (75g) Sun-dried tomatoes Oil-packed, drained and chopped
  • 5 oz (142g) Fresh baby spinach Wilted and squeezed dry
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp (5g) Red pepper flakes
  • 3 cups (336g) Mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded
  • 1 cup (90g) Parmesan cheese Finely grated
  • 1/4 cup (15g) Fresh parsley Finely chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch baking dish Ceramic or glass preferred
  • 1 Large Skillet To wilt spinach
  • 1 Mixing Bowl Large size

Method
 

Preparation and Filling
  1. Sauté garlic and red pepper flakes in olive oil for 1 minute; add spinach and cook until wilted. Squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and ricotta. Fold in the wilted spinach, chicken, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Spread a thin layer of sauce in the dish, followed by noodles, the chicken mixture, and a sprinkle of mozzarella/parmesan. Repeat layers.
  2. Finish with a layer of noodles and the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  3. Bake at 375°F (190°C) covered for 30 mins. Uncover and broil for 3-5 mins until dark charred spots appear on the bubbly cheese.
  4. Let rest for 15 minutes. Garnish with finely chopped fresh green parsley and serve.

Notes

Resting for 15 minutes is vital for clean square slices.
Ensure spinach is very dry to prevent a watery lasagna.
