How to Make Triple Cheese Spinach And Sausage Lasagna

**Make the Meat Sauce (can be made up to 3 days ahead):** Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 1 cup chopped carrots, 4 cloves garlic (minced), and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Sauté for 10-12 minutes until softened.
Add 1 lb ground beef and 1 lb Italian sausage (removed from casings). Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, for 6-7 minutes.
Stir in 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 15 oz tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato paste, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool completely and refrigerate overnight.
**Prepare the Ricotta Filling:** In a large bowl, combine 15 oz ricotta cheese, 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese, 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Add 10 oz fresh spinach (drained), and 2 large eggs. Mix well to combine.
**Assemble the Lasagna:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce in the bottom of the dish.
Layer 5 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
Sprinkle with 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
Spread 2 cups of the meat sauce over the cheese.
Repeat layers: 5 noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, and remaining meat sauce.
Top with 5 more noodles and the remaining meat sauce.
Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese.
Cover with foil.
Bake for 40 minutes.
Uncover and bake for another 35-40 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
