Homemade Pasta Sauce turned Lasagna
So, I was able to crank out two meals this week out of one!
2 cloves of garlic
Saute the garlic and onion in the oil for about 8 minutes.
Layer 2 more noodles, last of the sauce, and 1 cup of mozzarella and Parm sprinkled across top.
Cover with foil. Bake 35 minutes, until bubbly. Uncover for 5 minutes, and bake until cheese is melted and slightly brown. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.

S&P
Saute the garlic and onion in the oil for about 8 minutes.
Add and brown the
ground meat. (Drain off some of the fat, and keep it on reserve if
you need to add more.)
Add the tomatoes and spices, and
let simmer for 30 minutes.

Pour
about 1 cup of sauce in the bottom of the pan. Lay 2 sheets of pasta
next to each other (maybe some crumbs or small slivers to fill the pan)- slightly overlapping and breaking where necessary to
fit pan. Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top of noddles. Spread 1/2
of the spinach on top of cheese. Layer on 1 c of sauce.
Repeat with more noodles, more cheese, more spinach, and 1 c sauce.
Repeat with more noodles, remainder of cheese, if there is any leftover spinach, and 1c sauce.

This served 2 of us for 2 days. For leftovers, I added some jar sauce on top because I wanted it to be a little more "wet."
