Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the oven to 425°F. Squeeze the thawed spinach of excess moisture and pat the thawed broccoli as dry as possible. Chop both and place in a large bowl. Add the ricotta, pressed garlic, chopped basil, ½ cup grated mozzarella, 2 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt; stir well to combine.
-
Step 2.
Spread ¼ cup marinara sauce in the bottom of an 8½-by-4½-inch loaf pan. Top with 1 no-boil lasagna noodle. Spread one-third of the remaining sauce (about 2 tablespoons) over the noodle, then dollop with one-third of the ricotta mixture. Repeat layers: noodle, sauce, ricotta mixture. Place the remaining noodle on top, spread with the remaining sauce, and dollop with the remaining ricotta mixture.
-
Step 3.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining ¼ cup grated mozzarella and 1 tablespoon grated Pecorino Romano. Cover tightly with a piece of foil lightly oiled on the underside (to prevent sticking). Bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until the noodles are tender and the top is golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
