Ingredients

    Ready to cook whole grain Lasagna (about half a pack, or 175 g)
    Vegetarian Bolognese pasta sauce (or any blue menu pasta sauce will work fine) (about a jar and a half, or 4.5 cups)
    Kraft shredded cheese (the 2% milk ones are good... my favourites are chedder/ mozzarella, or plain mozzarella
    (about half the bag, or 1 cup)

leave until turkey is finished, and take off of burner to cool.

3. Heat Spinach in microwave until easily mixable.

4. Spread sauce on bottom of lasagna pan to keep the noodles from sticking (just enough to cover bottom).

6. Mix the ricotta cheese and the spinach in a bowl, and spread about half of the mixture on top of the noodles.

7. Add half of the meat/ veggies mixture on top to cover ricotta cheese mixture.
