SPINACH LASAGNA III

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook mushrooms, onions, and garlic in olive oil until onions are tender. Drain excess liquid and cool. Boil spinach for 5 minutes. Drain, then squeeze out excess liquid. Chop spinach.
• Combine ricotta cheese, Romano cheese, spinach, salt, oregano, basil, pepper, and egg in a bowl. Add cooled mushroom mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Lay 5 lasagna noodles in bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread one third of the cheese/spinach mixture over noodles. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese on top. Spread 1 cup pasta sauce over cheese. Repeat layering 2 times.
• Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour. Cool 15 minutes before serving.

LASAGNA WITH SPINACH AND THREE CHEESES

Steps:

• Position the oven racks so that the top rack is in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection bake at 350°F. Coat a 13 × 9 × 3-inch lasagna pan with nonstick spray.
• Crumble the ground beef and the sausage meat into a large skillet, add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off any fat. Add the tomato paste, 1 1/2 cups water, the tomatoes and their liquid, basil, oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes; mix well.
• Spoon about 1 cup of the sauce into the bottom of the baking pan. Top with one-third of the noodles. Spoon 1 cup of sauce over the noodles. Mix the spinach, ricotta, eggs, and half of the mozzarella together and spread one-third of the mixture over the sauce layer.
• Top with half of the remaining noodles. Repeat layering sauce, the spinach mixture, and noodles, ending with the sauce, and spreading it completely over the pasta; sprinkle the top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover the pan with foil and bake on the center rack of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until the pasta is tender and the edges are bubbly. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Let it stand for 15 minutes before serving.
