Spinach Artichoke Lasagna Shortcuts

I use a few shortcuts in this lasagna recipe to keep it simple.

You will not be boiling and layering lasagna noodles for this recipe. Instead purchase the oven ready lasagna noodles. You break the dry noodles up into 3-4 pieces each and then they get tucked into the sauce mixture…. they bake to a perfect al dente in the oven!

Instead of making your own bechamel sauce or Alfredo sauce, I use jarred store-bought Alfredo sauce. Use whatever brand you like, and whatever flavor you like: three cheese, roasted garlic, plain.

Since this is a one-pot lasagna you are not cooking all the ingredients separately and then painstakingly layering each ingredient. Instead everything gets cooked together in one pot, saving you time and energy!

Kitchen Tips on Thawing and Draining Frozen Spinach

Before we get into making the actual lasagna, let me give you a few tips on prepping the frozen spinach.

Let me say this loud and clear….make sure you squeeze the life out of your spinach or your lasagna will be watery!

After thawing your spinach in the microwave (or sometimes I will throw it in the fridge instead of the freezer when I get home from the store), I either place it in a sturdy, fine mesh colander and press the life out of it to release ALL the liquid, or I will place it in a clean kitchen towel and twist and press it over the sink until it won’t give anymore liquid. Really put your back into this to make sure all the liquid is removed! “You can do it put your back into it…….” A little Ice Cube reference for my 90’s peeps.

You should be left with a BALL of spinach that can tend to stick together. Make sure you sprinkle the spinach over your lasagna and then break up any larger pieces. I love spinach… but I don’t want to eat a golf ball size chunk of it! Right!?

How to Make Dutch Oven Spinach Artichoke Lasagna

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.

Grab your trusty dutch oven. I use my 5 quart Le Creuset that never lets me down ♥! Or if you are not in the market for a high priced item, this Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven is a reliable brand as well, for a fraction of the price.

Over medium low heat saute the onions and garlic in the oil for about 5 minutes.

Next, add the Italian sausage and crumble while cooking thru. You can use turkey or pork, sweet, mild, or hot sausage, whatever your preference. If you use pork sausage you may need to drain the grease before moving on to the next step.

Add all the seasonings to the pot: dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Stir that into the sausage to combine. (note on the salt… there is a very small amount of salt added to this recipe. I find that the sausage, Alfredo, and cheese are salty enough)

Now stir in the drained and chopped pimentos and the drained and chopped artichokes. To add the thawed and drained spinach sprinkle it over the top making sure to break up any large clumps.

Pour in the 2 jars of Alfredo sauce and the water. Stir everything until it is well mixed.

Break up each lasagna noodle into 3-4 pieces and tuck them into the sauce. Make sure all the noodles are covered by the sauce mixture. Pop the lid on your dutch oven and place it in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

Next sprinkle the spinach artichoke lasagna with the cheese mixture and place back in the oven, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes. To get a golden brown look to your cheese you can put the oven on broil for a minute… but watch to make sure your cheese does not burn!

Let the lasagna sit for 5-10 minutes before serving!

Dutch Oven Spinach Artichoke Lasagna for Dinner

This lasagna recipe makes an excellent dinner. It serves anywhere from 6-8 people. I you plan to serve 8 people make sure you have additional side items. An Italian Salad and garlic bread would be great. This is a pretty creamy and cheesy lasagna so I would stick with a vinaigrette salad dressing, like an Olive Garden Salad, like this one from Cozy Cook .
