1 (15 ounce) Container ricotta. I suggest a high quality whole milk one
5 Cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1⁄2 Cup parmesan cheese (optional but why wouldn't you add more cheese?)
1 lb Ground beef or 1 lb sausage
2 (24 ounce) Jars Rao's marinara OR 1 jar Rao's, 1 jar Pomi pureed tomatoes
6 Cups fresh spinach
6-8 Cloves crushed garlic (don't judge me)
3 T Italian seasoning
Bunch of scallions (about 6), thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375.
In bowl, combine beaten eggs, ricotta cheese, 3 cups of the mozzarella cheese, parmesan, scallions, salt and pepper.
Set aside.
Brown the ground beef, add italian seasoning, crushed garlic, salt and pepper.
Once browned add fresh spinach and wilt, cooking off any excess water.
In a 13X9X3 pan, spread enough sauce to thinly cover bottom of pan.
Layer in the order, 4 uncooked lasagna noodles (they will overlap), then 1/3 part of the ricotta cheese mixture, half the browned meat and 1 cup of marinara sauce.
Next layer, 4 uncooked lasagna noodles, 1/3 part of the ricotta cheese mixture, and 1 1/2 Cups sauce.
Next layer, 4 uncooked lasagna noodles, remaining ricotta mixture and remained meat, 1 cup of sauce.
For top layer, 4 uncooked lasagna noodles, remaining sauce, and remaining mozzarella.
Bake covered with foil for 50-60 minutes.
Uncover and continue cooking until all the cheese is melted on the top (about 5 minutes).
Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
