Description

Ingredients

• 1 package of lasagna noodles
• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ onion, chopped
• 15 oz. ricotta
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 5 ounce package of fresh spinach
• 2 cups marinara sauce (homemade or jar)
• 1 tablespoon of oregano
• to taste salt and pepper
• 1-2 cups of mozzarella cheese for topping

Directions

• Boil water in a large pot. Cook lasagna noodles following the directions on the box. When they are finished cooking, drain in a colander. Set aside.
• Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan on medium heat. Brown the ground beef and onion together.
• Turn down the heat and add the spinach stirring until just wilted, 2 minutes.
• Combine the ricotta, 1 cup of mozzarella, parmesan, egg, oregano, freshly grated pepper and about ¼ tsp of salt. Mix until well combined.
• Add the meat mixture to the cheese mixture. Combine.
• Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare a glass casserole dish by adding a thin layer of tomato sauce to the bottom.
• On a clean surface, lay out a few noodles at a time.
• Place a few tablespoons of filling on each noodle. Spread the filling to cover the noodle from edge to edge.
• Roll the noodles up and place in the prepared casserole dish, seam side down. Repeat until all of your filling is gone. (I ran out of noodles before I ran out of filling.)
• Pour the marinara sauce over the rolled noodles making sure to cover.
• Cover the dish in foil and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove foil and sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
• Return to oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
• Serve and enjoy!
