To prepare, remove the plastic film from the tray. If using an oven, place the tray on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until heated through. If using a microwave, vent the film and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, rotating halfway through. Allow to stand for a few minutes before serving to ensure even heating and prevent burns. It is best served hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional meat lasagna, this version is lighter due to the absence of meat and the inclusion of spinach. The ricotta cheese filling provides a creamy texture that is distinct from a béchamel or mozzarella-heavy sauce, making it a different culinary experience.
Who it is for
