Easy Spinach Lasagne

I found this recipe on a can of spinach several years ago. It is very hearty and easy to make. I like using canned diced tomatoes instead of spaghetti sauce. The taste is much "cleaner".

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 9 (2 inch)  lasagna noodles
• 1  lb lean ground beef
• 2 (14 1/2ounce) cans diced tomatoes with basil oregano and garlic
• 2 (13 1/2ounce) cans  whole  spinach leaves
• 1 (15 ounce) package ricotta cheese
• 3  cups  shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
2. Cook meat with tomatoes in skillet over medium-high 7 minutes. Drain spinach well, squeezing out excess liquid, blend with ricotta cheese.
3. Layer 3 noodles, ½ spinach mixture, 1/3 tomato mixture and 1/3 cheese in a 9 x 12-inch baking dish. Repeat, ending with noodles, tomatoes and cheese.
4. Bake at 350°, 30 minutes or until heated through. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
