Lazy Lasagna

Submitted by: Ann Hatzopoulos

Servings: 8-12

Ingredients:
32 oz ricotta cheese, drained
2 large eggs
1 package (10oz) frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
1 1/2 cups grated parmigiano reggiano cheese
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 jars (26oz each) pasta sauce (your choice)
1 box (16oz) No Boil noodles (I use Anthony's Lasagne because that's all my store sells)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, spinach, salt and pepper and 1/2 cup of the grated cheese. Mix well and set aside.
Pour 1/2 jar of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish and spread evenly. Lay 1/3 of the noodles on top of sauce (you might need to break some to get them to fit -I layer 4 the long way and two, slightly broken, the short way to cover the entire bottom) and spread half of the cheese mixture over the top. Sprinkle on half of the remaining grated cheese. Repeat (1/2 jar sauce, 1/3 noodles, remaining cheese mixture, grated cheese). Make sure the noodles are completely covered!
Layer 1/2 jar of sauce and the remaining noodles and then the remaining 1/2 jar of sauce.
Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil and place the pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
Bake for 30-35 minutes. Allow to stand 5 minutes before cutting to allow the noodles to firm up. Cut and serve.

We usually remove the foil and cover with shredded cheese and bake for 5-10 minutes longer for a nice cheesy look.
