Instructions
Over a skillet on medium high, brown the ground beef until it is cooked through and there is no pink left.
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper to taste. Add the minced garlic.
Add the whole bag of fresh spinach to the meat. Lightly heat until the spinach begins to wilt.
Stir the ricotta cheese and egg into the meat and spinach mixture until combined.
Assemble the lasagna by spreading about ½ cup of the traditional pasta sauce onto the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Add a row of approximately 3-4 no-boil lasagna noodles. Add about ½ cup of the pasta sauce, followed by half of the meat mixture and topped with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella. Repeat.
Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the lasagna noodles are soft. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
