Ingredients
12 whole Lasagna Noodles3 1⁄2 cups Mozzarella (shredded)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 whole Onion
5 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
1⁄4 teaspoon Salt
1⁄4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
28 ounces Diced Tomatoes (canned)
14 1⁄2 ounces Tomato Sauce
10 ounces Spinach (frozen, thawed and squeezed well)
2 cups Ricotta Cheese
1⁄2 cup Parsley (chopped)
Directions
- In a large sauce pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and using a spoon, break the meat into small pieces. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, should take about 5 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt and pepper and cook another 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and stir. Bring to a boil then lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside in a bowl of cool water.
- In a medium sized bowl add the spinach, ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and stir to combine. Set aside. Spray a 9"x13" baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spread a couple ladles of the sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Lay out lasagna noodles, make sure they are dry. Spread about 3 tablespoons of the spinach/cheese mixture and 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture over each lasagna noodle, and roll it up. Make sure you divide the spinach/cheese mixture evenly over the 12 noodles.
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Place each roll seam side down over the sauce. Repeat with remaining noodles. Ladle remaining sauce over the lasagna rolls, then sprinkle with the 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.
- Cover the lasagna dish with aluminum foil and bake covered for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes. Top with parsley, then serve while warm.
