Ingredients
  

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 can 15 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Stir in the diced tomatoes, chickpeas, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with half of the shredded mozzarella.
  • To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the tomato and spinach mixture on the bottom of a baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top, followed by a layer of the ricotta and mozzarella mixture. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of the tomato and spinach mixture on top.
  • Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella and the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  • Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
