1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Bring a large pot of salted boiling water to a boil and cook lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and garlic and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in lemon zest and remove from heat.
In a large bowl, stir ricotta, egg, and 1/2 cup Parmesan until combined then season with salt and pepper.
