Ths just in: we got a Costco membership.

More accurately, we got a Costco membership so we could get a TV.

If you’ve been a reader, a) you just got 100 sweet friend points, and b) you already know our TV dilemma.

The dilemma goes something like this –> We wanted to watch the Olympics. And the Superbowl. And the Bachelor Finale. And any movie not on our laptops. But we didn’t have a TV and we didn’t want to buy one.

Description

This Skinny Spinach Lasagna has thick layers of sauce, noodles, ricotta, spinach, and Mozzarella – queue the mouth watering!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme

• 6 ounces fresh spinach

• 2 lbs. ricotta cheese (I used 1 lb. whole milk and 1 lb. nonfat)

• 1 egg

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

• a squeeze of lemon juice (optional, to taste)

• 12 no-boil lasagna noodles

• 1 24 ounce jar of spaghetti or marinara sauce (I used Trader Joe’s tomato basil)

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and thyme; saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach; saute until just barely wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

2. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, salt, nutmeg, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add the spinach and stir to combine. Transfer some of the mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times to break up some of the spinach pieces (totally optional, but makes for a really nice texture).
