Put the spinach into a sieve, which is over a large bowl and use the tablespoon to squeeze out the water.
-
When the water is squeezed out, put the squeezed spinach into the other large mixing bowl.
-
Repeat steps 2-4 until all of the spinach is done.

Take a tablespoon of the spinach and ricotta filling and place on one of the lasagne sheets.
