Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 (5 ounces) container baby spinach roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound lasagna noodles
  • 1 (25 ounces) jar marinara sauce
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and oil a 12x17-inch baking sheet.
    Baking sheet with oil and pastry brush, ready for baking or cooking preparation.
  • Sauté the minced garlic, and red pepper flakes in a tablespoon of olive oil for a minute, until the garlic is just golden. Add in the spinach with ½ teaspoon of salt and stir until it's wilted. Move the spinach to a strainer to drain any extra liquid, then mix it with the ricotta in a bowl.

  • Wipe down the skillet with a paper towel. Add the remaining olive oil and ground beef. Cook until browned and crumbled. Stir in the diced onion, Italian seasoning, and the rest of the salt. Cook until the onions are soft.

  • While the beef is browning, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook your lasagna pieces until they're al dente (follow instructions on the pasta package). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain, reserving 1 ½ cups of the pasta water.
