  • 1 jar (24 Oz. Size) Vodka Pasta Sauce
  • 1 head (medium) Broccoli, Cut Into Small Florets

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water, draining 2 minutes before the directions on the package say to.

2. In a small bowl, mix together ricotta, salt, pepper, half of the Italian seasonings, garlic powder, egg, and spinach. Set aside.

3. Spread the following layers into a deep 9×13 lasagna pan: 1/3 of the pasta sauce; 1/2 of the noodles; 1/2 of the ricotta mixture; 1/2 of the broccoli; 1/2 of the cheese; 1/3 of the sauce; remaining 1/2 of the noodles; remaining 1/2 of the ricotta mixture; remaining 1/2 of the broccoli; and remaining 1/3 of the sauce. Finish with the remaining 1/2 of the cheese.

4. Sprinkle with the remaining half of the Italian seasoning. Bake in preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until bubbly. Turn broil on high and cook until cheese is broiled to your liking. Remove from oven. Let it cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!
