Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Cook noodles al dente according to directions on pkg.
  • Drain them well then lay out on waxed paper to prevent them from sticking to each other.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat.
  • Add beef, cook until no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer meat to a plate, discarding any fat remaining in pan.
  • Add oil to same pan, heat over a medium-high heat.
  • Add mushrooms, cook, stirring occasionally until all liquid has evaporated, they begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Return meat to pan.
  • Stir in 2 cups of tomato sauce, simmer 2 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl combine ricotta cheese, spinach, egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg.
  • Spread 1 cup of tomato sauce on bottom of a 9x13" baking dish. Place a layer of noodles on top, touching but not overlapping. Spread half of ricotta mixture on top of noodles.
  • Add another layer of noodles.
  • Top with half beef-mushroom mixture.
  • Repeat with another layer of noodles, then remaining cheese mixture, more noodles, then remaining beef mixture, finally 1 more layer of noodles.
  • Top final layer of noodles with remaining sauce, then sprinkle with grated cheeses.
  • Cover loosely with foil, bake 45 minutes.
  • Uncover, bake 15 minutes more.
  • *************************
  • Bakers secret:
  • You can add 1/2 cup water to any sauce with lasagna noodles and put them in uncooked. They will be fully done in the 45 minutes of baking. This saves time and burnt fingers
