I have been tweaking lasagna recipes for about 5 years now and I made my best yet this week. Mr. Becker said it was his favorite....and its great because it's is full of spinach, you don't even need a side salad.
So here you go:
1 box lasagna noodles
2 T Olive Oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
1 pack of sweet Italian sausage
1 28 oz (I think, whatever the biggest can is) of crushed tomatoes
2 T Italian seasoning
salt & pepper
3 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
4 cups grated mozzarella
Boil lasagna noddles with a pinch of salt in the water so they don't stick together.
While noodles are boiling add oil to skillet, cook garlic and onions for 1 minute.
Add sausage to pan, break it up and cook on Med heat. Cook until no longer pink, in fact I even like my a little crispy on the outside. Then add the tomatoes and boil for a few minutes, stirring often. Reduce to simmer and add seasoning and about 2 T of salt (taste and add more if needed) and a little pepper (about a teaspoon)
Add the chopped spinach leaves and turn off heat.
Now get a large pan and add a layer of noodles. (my kids and dog love the noodles so they each get one)
Spoon a layer of sauce over the noodles.
top with a large handful of motz (I LOVE motz)
repeat! End with a thick layer of cheese and sprinkle the top with a little Italian seasoning for a nice finish.
Cook at 350* for 25 minutes and enjoy!!
