Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb elbow macaroni
32 ounces prepared spaghetti sauce (I have used Prego or made my own)
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can spinach
6 ounces provolone cheese, about 8 slices
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Prepare water to boil and pre-grease a deep casserole dish.
  • Brown beef, onions and garlic in a medium sized sauce pan (if you don't like your onions a tad crisp, saute your onions and garlic until soft, prior to adding the beef).
  • Add spaghetti sauce AND spinach to the beef, onion and garlic; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350, and add noodles to boiling water and cook until al dante.
  • Drain noodles and return to pot.
  • Pour the sauce mixture into the noodles, RESERVING two or so cups, and mix thoroughly. Set remaining sauce aside.
  • Pour half of the pasta mixture into the pre-greased casserole dish, layer with 6 slices of provolone cheese, pour in the remaining pasta, break the remaining provolone into pieces, layer, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Finally, pour on the reserved sauce.
  • Bake, covered, on 350 for 35 minutes.
  • Uncover, sprinkle parmesan cheese on top, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have zucchini and bell peppers on hand, so this is a perfect recipe for me.

I wasn't a fan of this recipe. The zucchini noodles were too watery and the sauce was too sweet.

The zucchini noodles were a bit too watery for my liking. I think I'll try using regular lasagna noodles next time.

This faux lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of lasagna, but this faux lasagna was surprisingly good. The zucchini noodles were a great substitute for the traditional lasagna noodles and the sauce was flavorful.
