Lasagna
3 lbs. Italian sausage, casings removed
1 large onion, chopped
1 pkg. chopped frozen spinach,(optional)
8 cloves garlic, chopped
3 - 26oz. jars spaghetti sauce (reserve 1 jar for bottom of pan and top of lasagna)
1 jar water (use spaghetti sauce jar)
1+ lb. mozzarella cheese, grated or mix of mozzarella and cheddar
Parmesan cheese for top
1 - 1 lb. box lasagna noodles
Do not pre-cook noodles
Break up sausage and cook in a heavy large pan until cooked through, breaking up sausage. Take out of pan and drain in a strainer to get most of the grease out. Chop sausage to resemble hamburger or put in food processor.
Cook onion until soft, add garlic. Add sausage and spinach to onion mixture, pour in only 2 jars of the spaghetti sauce and water. Simmer for about ½ hour.
Spray 13x9 pan with Pam. Spoon some of the spaghetti sauce from the 3rd jar on the bottom of the pan. Put a layer of noodles, sauce, and cheese. Repeat layering. On the top add more sauce from the 3rd jar spaghetti sauce and Parmesan cheese or remaining mozzarella cheese.
Cover tightly with heavy-duty foil. Place on baking sheet.
Bake @ 350° for about 1 hour. Take cover off and bake another 15 minutes.
Uncover; let stand 15 minutes.
(Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Rewarm covered in 350° oven about 45 minutes)
