  • 16 oz jar spaghetti sauce, thinned with a little water

  1. 1

    Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain carefully so as not to break noodles. Rinse and lay out flat on a cookie sheet. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Squeeze the excess moisture out of thawed spinach thoroughly. Place in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Add ricotta, mozzarella, Romano cheese, pepper, and melted butter to the spinach. Mix just long enough to combine; the ricotta should not turn green.

  4. 4

    Evenly divide the spinach mixture among the noodles. Spread evenly over each noodle, leaving a one-inch space on top and bottom.

  5. 5

    Starting from one end, roll each noodle up over the filling. Place seam side down in a lightly oiled casserole dish in a single layer.

  6. 6

    Pour warmed spaghetti sauce over all. Cover and bake at 350°F for 20–30 minutes, or until heated throughout.

  7. 7

    Serve hot with additional sauce on the side.
