Steps:
- Preparation:
- Position the rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375°F.
- Make the sauce:
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the sausage, onion and 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, red-pepper flakes, and tomato paste; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add tomatoes (along with their juice) and oregano; bring to a simmer, and cook, breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon until in small pieces, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more red-pepper flakes if desired.
- Make the filling:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine all of the filling ingredients and process until mostly smooth.
- Assemble the lasagna:
- Squeeze the spinach in a paper towel or clean dishcloth until very dry. Transfer to a bowl and season with a pinch of salt.
- Coat baking dish with cooking spray and spread the bottom with 2 cups sauce. Top with a layer of three noodles, then a third of the ricotta mixture (about 1 1/3 cups), and a third of the spinach (about 2/3 cup). Sprinkle with 1 cup grated mozzarella.
- Repeat twice more, skipping the mozzarella on the third layer. Top the lasagna with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups mozzarella in clusters so some of the sauce peeks through.
- Place the baking pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly spray a piece of foil with cooking spray, cover the lasagna, and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until lightly browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes more. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
- DO AHEAD: The sauce can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. The filling can be prepared up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated.
3 CHEESE SPINACH LASAGNA WITH TOFU
For a healthier version use low-fat mozzarella and cottage cheese. If you would like to freeze one of the pans for later use, put it in the freezer before cooking it and cook for an hour and 1/2 instead of 1 hour when you are ready to use it. This was modified from a recipe in Real People Cookin' Low Fat.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
- Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted but still have a bit of a bite to it.
- Use a variety of cheeses for the filling. This will give the lasagna a more complex flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauces. A white sauce or a tomato sauce would both be delicious with this lasagna.
- Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
