Ingredients

  • Freshly chopped parsley, for serving

  • 16 oz. Fresh mozzarella, sliced

  • 1 tsp. Dried oregano

  • 3/4 cup Grated Parmesan, divided

  • 1 Large egg, beaten

  • 16 oz. Ricotta

  • 5 oz. Baby spinach

  • 2 cups Marinara sauce

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil

  • 3 Large sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

Method

  • 01
    Preheat oven to 375℉ and grease a 9”-x-13” baking pan with cooking spray. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 02
    Pour in marinara sauce and bring to a simmer, then add spinach and cook until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat.
  • 03
    In a large bowl, stir together ricotta, egg, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 04
    Layer sweet potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping. Spread about 1/3 of ricotta mixture over sweet potatoes then pour 1/3 of meat sauce on top. Repeat to make two more layers. Top lasagna with mozzarella slices and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • 05
    Cover with aluminum foil and bake until sweet potatoes are almost cooked through, about 45 minutes then remove foil and bake until sweet potatoes are fork-tender, 15 minutes more. Let rest 10 minutes.
  • 06
    Garnish with parsley before serving.
