ingredients

2 turkey sausage links, casings removed (hot, lean turkey sausage)
1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons pesto sauce (optional)
1 cup shredded italian blend cheese, divided
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
1 ³⁄₄ cups your favorite pasta sauce, divided
6 no-boil lasagna noodles
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brown sausage, breaking it up as you cook, in a large skillet; remove and drain on paper towel-lined plate.
In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, pesto (if using), 1/4 c Italian-blend cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning.
Spread 1/4-1/3 c pasta sauce in the bottom of an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
Spread 1/4 c of ricotta mixture on one noodle and place noodle in loaf pan.
Sprinkle some of the spinach and cooked sausage on top, then spoon a few tablespoons of pasta sauce on top.
Top with a few tablespoons of Parmesan.
Repeat layering, reserving a good 1/4 c pasta sauce and cheese for the top layer.
Press down lightly and spread remaining pasta sauce on top of the last noodle; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
Uncover and bake another 10 minutes; make sure noodles are fully cooked and tender.
Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
