Tips:

Fresh spinach is the best choice for this lasagna, but frozen spinach can be used in a pinch. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
Use a good quality ricotta cheese. Fresh ricotta is best, but part-skim ricotta can also be used.
Don't overcook the lasagna noodles. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
Use a variety of cheeses in the lasagna. A combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta works well.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You could add cooked vegetables, such as sautéed mushrooms or zucchini, to the filling. Or, you could use a different type of sauce, such as pesto or Alfredo sauce.
