Spinach and Avocado Lasagna

Seems like everything has avocado in it lately so I thought I would try it in lasagna.

Serves 4 - 6 

2 cups chopped spinach, packed
1 avocado
4 tbsps finely chopped onion
1 egg
3 tbsps parmesan
12 lasagna noodles
3 cups tomato sauce
1  1/2 cups shredded mozzarella

Cook lasagna as per package directions, then drain and set aside. Toss with a little oil so they don't stick together.

Mash the avocado and mix it with the spinach, onion, egg and parmesan.

Spray an 8 X 11" baking dish with cooking spray then spread a few tablespoons of sauce over the bottom.

Now start layering....
3 noodles, 1/2 the spinach mixture
3 noodles, 1/2 the tomato sauce
3 noodles, the rest of the spinach mixture

And finally the last 3 noodles and the remaining tomato sauce. Top it all off with the shredded mozzarella.

Bake in a 350 F oven for 40 - 45 minutes.
Rest 10-15 minutes before cutting.
Or if you are making it ahead of time for later use, chill then cut into squares and package individually for re-heating later.

Here's my go to sauce recipe:
