Stir in marinara sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper; simmer for 5 minutes.

5

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, spinach, and a pinch of salt; mix until smooth.

6

Spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.

7

Layer slices of bread over the sauce, covering the bottom completely.

8

Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture over the bread.

9

Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.

Repeat the layers (meat sauce, bread, ricotta, mozzarella) until all ingredients are used, finishing with mozzarella on top.

11

Sprinkle parmesan cheese on the final layer.

12

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
