Aaron's Favorite Lasagna

Lasagna Florentine

Oven ready lasagna noodles

1 16 oz pkg ricotta cheese

1 egg

1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened

2 cups mozzarella cheese

1 pkg frozen spinach, thawed and drained

1 pint of sliced mushrooms

1 lb ground turkey or chicken

6 tablespoons minced garlic

Dried basil, garlic powder, and oregano

1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce

1 jar of your favorite alfredo sauce

Spray a 13x9” pan with non-stick spray and pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Begin by browning the ground turkey. While that cooks, mix together all of the cheese (ricotta, mozzarella, and cream cheese) Add the egg and the spinach. Mix in 3 tablespoons of garlic. Set aside

Toss the mushrooms in the meat as it finishes browning for a little extra flavor. Season the meat with 3 tablespoons garlic and a heavy hand of basil and oregano. Add both jars of sauce and mix together until it’s a pinkish color (leave a touch of sauce for the bottom of your pan, either white or red… doesn’t matter).

Begin constructing the lasagna. Pour a little sauce in the bottom of your dish and lay 4 lasagna noodles lengthwise down the pan. Top with the cheese mixture and then the meat. Repeat the layers (noodles, cheese mix, meat mix) until you reach the top of the pan. Top with more meat sauce and some grated cheese (parm, mozzarella, whatever is left over)

Cover the pan with foil and bake for 45 minutes -1 hour.

Let it stand a few minutes before you start to slice it up! Enjoy!
