Makes 8 servings
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves: 8
Serving size: 1/8 recipe

1 recipe Meaty tomato sauce, prepared through step 3 (do not crumble the meatballs)
12 precooked lasagna noodles (about 8 oz)
2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
2 (10-ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese


1. Preheat the oven to 375ｰF. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Separate the tomato sauce from the meatballs, transferring the meatballs to a medium bowl. Crumble the meatballs with a wooden spoon or your hands.
3. Spread about 1 cup of the sauce in the prepared pan; arrange a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Evenly scatter 1/3 of the crumbled meatballs on top, and, with a small spoon, dollops of 1/3 of the ricotta. Scatter 1/3 of the spinach over the top, then sprinkle evenly with 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese and dot with another cup of the sauce. Repeat, ending with the remaining lasagna noodles. Top evenly with the remaining meatballs, ricotta, spinach, and tomato sauce; sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese.
4. Cover with foil and bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes; remove the foil and bake until lightly browned along the edges, 10 minutes more. Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting.
