This has been a great favorite of my family and friends. I started using cottage cheese because it was less expensive. I tried changing to the ricotta, when the prices became about the same and everyone liked the cottage cheese better. Be sure to drain the cottage cheese. I make this for my son for his B'day. I make 2 extra large pans. We eat that night and then I freeze the rest in single serving pieces in Seal a Meal bags.

How To Make spinach lasagna

Step 1

Fry Hamburger until done. Drain off any grease. Add fresh mushrooms & cook until they are done. Add the 2 bottles of sauce. Cover and simmer.

Step 2

Place Cottage cheese in a colander and drain any excess liquid. Place cottage cheese in a bowl. Add Parmesan cheese topping, chopped olives, drained spinach and season salt. Mix well and set aside.
Step 3

If cooking lasagna noodles cook according to package directions. I use the No cook noodles.
Step 4

Mix the Italian blend cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 5

Put some sauce on the bottom of baking pan, layer noodles, sauce cottage cheese mixture by spoonfuls, and cheese mixture. Make a total of 3 layers., ending with sauce and cheeses. I then use some of the Parmesan cheese topping also.
Step 6

Bake 35-40 minutes if using no boil noodles, about 30 minutes with cooked noodles.
