Lazy Mom'S Faux Lasagna
- 1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb elbow macaroni
- 32 ounces prepared spaghetti sauce (I have used Prego or made my own)
- 1 (13 1/2 ounce) can spinach
- 6 ounces provolone cheese, about 8 slices
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- Prepare water to boil and pre-grease a deep casserole dish.
- Brown beef, onions and garlic in a medium sized sauce pan (if you don't like your onions a tad crisp, saute your onions and garlic until soft, prior to adding the beef).
- Add spaghetti sauce AND spinach to the beef, onion and garlic; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 350, and add noodles to boiling water and cook until al dante.
- Drain noodles and return to pot.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the noodles, RESERVING two or so cups, and mix thoroughly. Set remaining sauce aside.
- Pour half of the pasta mixture into the pre-greased casserole dish, layer with 6 slices of provolone cheese, pour in the remaining pasta, break the remaining provolone into pieces, layer, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Finally, pour on the reserved sauce.
- Bake, covered, on 350 for 35 minutes.
- Uncover, sprinkle parmesan cheese on top, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
