    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the base

    Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the spinach. Season the tomato sauce with salt, pepper, and the oregano; stir to combine. In the bottom of each tray, spread a thin layer of seasoned tomato sauce (about 1/3). Top with a layer of spinach, then an even layer of pasta sheets (if necessary, trim the pasta sheets to fit snugly into the tray). Repeat with another layer of tomato sauce and spinach, then half the béchamel and half the parmesan. Add a final layer of the remaining pasta sheets, tomato sauce, and spinach. Top with the remaining béchamel, then the mozzarella (tearing into small pieces before adding). Season with salt and pepper.

Serve the baked trays drizzled with the pesto. Garnish with the remaining parmesan. Enjoy!
