Ingredients:
10 whole wheat lasagna noodles, cooked to al dente (about 8 minutes)
1 jar marinara sauce (24 oz) no sugar added
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups baby spinich, loosely packed and chopped well

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425. Add 1/4 cups marinara to a 13x9x2 casserole dish. In a large skillet, add oil and heat to medium low. Saute garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chopped spinich and saute until wilted, about 3 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic, spinach, ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, cottage cheese, egg white, oregano, salt, and pepper.
