Serving

16 oz lasagna noodles
2 tbsp olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (16 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
7 oz basil pesto
1/2 cup pine nuts
30 oz ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup light cream

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside.
In large skillet over medium heat, saute onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons olive oil until tender. Add spinach and stir. Remove from heat and stir in the pesto and pine nuts.
In a large bowl mix ricotta cheese, egg, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and nutmeg.
In a 3 quart greased baking dish, layer the noodles then the spinach mixture, followed by the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Repeat the layers ending with noodles on top.
Make the alfredo sauce: In a medium saucepan combine cream, butter, and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook over medium low heat until smooth. Remove from heat.
Spread the Alfredo sauce over the top of the lasagna and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan.
Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes.
