1 tbsp olive oil
28oz can of crushed organic tomatoes

15 oz ricotta cheese
1 egg
10 oz frozen spinach, thawed & squeeze dry
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese


heat oven to 400

1) Cook lasagna noodles per directions, drain and rinse with cold water and set aside

2) heat oil in a large skillet, add onions & garlic and cook until onions are soft.  Add in meat of choice and brown until no longer pink.  Add in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce & spices and simmer until bubbly & thick.

3) in a bowl mix 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, egg and spinach until mixed well.

4) in a baking pan, spread about 1 1/2 cups of sauce on the bottom.

5) lay out 1 sheet of pasta, spread some of the cheese mixture on the noodle and roll up.  Place seam side down in the tomato sauce...repeat with remaining noodles & cheese

6) pour remaining tomato sauce on top of noodles, cover and bake for about 25 minutes.

7) uncover and top with remaining cheese and cook until the cheese is melted...

VERDICT: very good...I love the portion control of this and the cinnamon & nutmeg add such a wonderful flavor and scent to the sauce...YUMMY!!!  Also if you wanted to you can cook 9 noodles and make a lasagna out of this...I have even done it so you don't have to precook the noodles and just add some water to the sauce and cook for about 30-45 minutes...
