How to Make Easy Oven Lasagna

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 cup water, 24 oz jar spaghetti sauce, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Layer 1/2 of the meat sauce in the prepared baking dish. Top with 9 lasagna noodles, then spread with 15 oz ricotta cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and 5 oz fresh spinach.
  5. Repeat layers: remaining meat sauce, 9 lasagna noodles, 15 oz ricotta cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and 5 oz fresh spinach.
  6. Top with the remaining meat sauce and sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 1 hour, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.
  9. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.
