Why I Love This Recipe
I assembled this lasagna the night before I baked it using oven-ready noodles, and it turned out great! I just had to bake it a little longer than the recipe says. I got this recipe from either Taste of Home or Light & Tasty. It's very flavorful, and one piece equals 300 calories and 8 g fat.
Ingredients You'll Need
12 uncooked lasagna noodles
2 packages (10 oz. each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 cartons (15 oz. each) fat-free ricotta cheese

In another pan brown the ground beef and small chopped sirloin (flank, London broil)
