  • 3 lbs. Italian sausage, casings removed

  • 1 large onion, chopped

Lasagna 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)
