Equipment

Deep 9x13 pan

Ingredients

24 ounces ricotta about 2½ cups
20 ounces broccoli florets frozen, thawed, patted dry, and chopped
1½ tablespoon Italian seasoning
4 cloves garlic
4½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded, divided
1½ cup Parmesan cheese grated, divided
Salt & pepper
48 ounces spaghetti sauce we use our homemade but any jar will be fine
¾ cup heavy cream
16 no-boil lasagna noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400ºF.
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, broccoli, Italian seasoning, garlic, 3 cups of the mozzarella, ¾ cup of the Parmesan, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. In a small bowl, combine the marinara sauce and cream.
Spoon a thin layer of the sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with 4 noodles, a quarter of the remaining sauce, and a third of the broccoli mixture; repeat twice. Top with the remaining 4 noodles and sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining 1½ cups of mozzarella and ¾ cup of Parmesan.
Bake until the noodles are tender and the sauce is bubbly, 45 to 55 minutes.
