1 lb ground beef or 1 lb Italian sausage
1/2 cup finely chopped onion

8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (2 cups)
2 cups chopped fresh spinach (or frozen, no need to defrost)
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In large skillet or stock pot, brown ground beef and onion; drain.
Stir in spaghetti sauce. Simmer 10 minutes (to heat through), stirring occasionally.
In medium bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, fresh or frozen spinach, ricotta cheese, eggs and garlic powder; stir until well blended.
In 13-by-9-inch baking dish, layer 1/2 of the uncooked lasagna noodles, 1/2 of the meat mixture, all of the spinach mixture, remaining half of noodles and meat sauce. Pour the 1/3 cup of water over lasagna. Cover snugly with foil.
Bake covered at 350 F for 45 minutes.
Remove foil from lasagna; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake, uncovered, an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly and noodles are tender.
Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Yields 8 servings.
Serve with a tossed salad, Mom's Onion Parmesan Bread #109257 and a nice bottle of red wine (such as Italian Chianti, Lambrusco, or Red Rose). Any leftovers are great reheated the next day.
NOTE: Recipe can be made ahead; use a disposable aluminum pan and bake, freeze and reheat all in the same pan. Or, you can assemble the lasagna without baking it and then freeze it, baking it on the day it will be served.

Tips

Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all the excess water before using it.
Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it, or it will become mushy.
Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in lasagna, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy.
Don't skimp on the sauce. The sauce is also very important in lasagna, so be sure to use a good quality sauce that you like.
Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set up properly.

Conclusion

This easy no-boil spinach lasagna recipe is a delicious and hearty meal that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a lasagna recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
