Christy'S Lasagna
- 1 lb. Ground Beef
- 21/2 - 3 Jars Prego Mushroom Sauce
- 2 Cups Ricotta Cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 small-medium yellow sweet onion
- 1-3 cloves garlic (or none at all, whatever your garlic preference is)
- 1 Package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Oregano
- 1/2 Teaspoon Basil
- 1 Package (12 noodles) San Giorgio Oven Ready Lasagna
- 4 Cups Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 - 1 Cups Italian Cheese
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese
- Pre-Heat oven to 375 degrees
- Cook/Brown Ground Beef, Onion, & Garlic; Drain grease
- Combine Ground Beef Mixture with Sauce in large bowl
- Combine Ricotta, Spinach, Egg, Basil & Oregano in medium bowl
- Begin the layering in 13x9x2-inch baking dish
- Cover bottom of dish with sauce mixture
- 3 Lasagna noodles - not touching each other or the sides of the dish
- Ricotta Mixture (1/4 of mixture) I spread ricotta over noodles like peanut butter on bread, and then place in dish (easier)
- Sauce (1 cup) Spoon over so all of ricotta is covered
- Mozzarella Cheese (1 cup) sprinkle evenly over dish
- Continue with Noodles, Ricotta, Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese layering until you run out of noodles
- Add a little extra sauce around the edges (no noodles should be exposed)
- Add top layer of Mozzarella Cheese, Italian Cheese, and Parmesan Cheese
- Cover dish with foil & Bake 30 minutes
- Remove foil and Bake an additional 10-15 minutes, until top begins to brown
- Serve with Parmesan Cheese, left over sauce mixture, and Italian or Garlic Bread
- Great leftover and great to freeze and save for another time!
- Can also be made ahead of time, just refrigerate or freeze.
