Spinach Alfredo Lasagna

This is a "Taste of Home" recipe that I added to:

1 lb. ground beef
1 med. sweet white onion - chopped
2 garlic cloves - minced
1 jar (24 oz) spaghetti sauce
1 package (8 oz) no-cook lasagna noodles
1 carton (15 oz) ricotta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 T. minced fresh parsley
1 T. chopped fresh oregano (my addition, and I grow it on my balcony farm)
1/2 t. fresh ground pepper
8 cups (32 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella (wow, that's a lotta cheese!!)
1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, and squeezed dry
1 jar (15 oz) Roasted Garlic Alfredo sauce

In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, and garlic over med. heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Spread 1 cup of meat sauce in an ungreased 5-6 qt. slow cooker. Arrange 4 noodles over sauce, breaking noodles to fit if necessary. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, and pepper; spread half over noodles. Layer with 2 cups mozz. and 1 cup of meat sauce. Top with four noodles, spinach, Alfredo sauce, 2 cups of mozz, four noodles, and the remaining cheese mixture. Layer with 2 cups of mozz., 1 cup meat mixture, and remaining noodles, meat sauce, and mozz. Cook on low 4-5 hours or until noodles are tender. Yields 8 servings (then freeze leftovers if you don't want to eat the rest the next day).

I am planning to make this (hopefully next week) for Sara, David, and Tom with garlic bread, and a Caesar Salad (LOVE the Caesar Salad Supreme kit from Safeway!!).

Beautiful sunrise this morning. Yay, God!! And, I get to work today!!!

Enjoy, and have FUN today.

Love,
