Happy Sunday!

Well, it's Sunday and that means that tomorrow is.....ugh...Monday. If you hate Mondays as much as I do, here's a little Sunday LOL cat humor to cheer you up!




Today I'm sharing a recipe I found at Taste Of Home for Beef & Spinach Lasagna. I have to admit that I had never had spinach before this recipe! It was really good, although next time I will add a little more garlic and/or other seasonings. Here it is!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 jars (26 ounces each) meatless spaghetti sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 9 no-cook lasagna noodles

Directions:

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce, garlic, basil and oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta and 1 cup mozzarella cheese until combined.
Spread 1-1/2 cups meat sauce into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with three noodles. Spread 1-1/2 cups sauce to edges of noodles. Top with half of the spinach mixture. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles, sauce and remaining mozzarella cheese.
Cover and bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 12 servings.
