American-Style Lasagne is a popular family-style dish in the United States, often served at gatherings or as a special weeknight meal. This version of lasagne is built with no-boil lasagna noodles, a cheese and spinach mixture, a rich tomato-based sauce, and Italian sausage or ground beef that has been flavored with garlic and fennel seed. The final result is a bubbling hot pan of cheesy goodness that is both satisfying and delicious.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and then add the ricotta cheese and frozen spinach. Stir until well combined.
3.Mix in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, the Italian cheese blend, and the parmesan cheese (if using).
4.In a skillet, brown the Italian sausage or ground beef with minced garlic cloves and fennel seed. Add the spaghetti sauce and stir.
5.Spread 1 cup spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Lay out a layer of no-boil lasagna noodles on top, then add a layer of the cheese and spinach mixture followed by another layer of spaghetti sauce.
6.Repeat layers, using all ingredients, ending with the remaining cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
7.Cover the dish with a piece of foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 25 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
