Ingredients:
1 lb hamburger meat
10-20 fresh spinach leaves
1/2 lb soft goat cheese
3-4 oz goat mozzarella or cheddar
10 oz package brown rice lasagna noodles (made by Tinkyada - I found this at Kroger)
10 oz Ragu Light (no sugar added) tomato and basil spaghetti sauce
Make sure to set out the soft goat cheese before you get started so that its soft enough to work with when you need to layer.
Brown the hamburger meat, drain the grease, wash with water and set aside. Boil the lasagna noodles for only half the time the package recommends (about 7-8 minutes) and set aside to cool. Chop up the spinach into tiny bits and add to the hamburger meat. Add the Ragu spaghetti sauce to the cooked hamburger meat and simmer until mixed well. Grate the goat mozzarella cheese, as this will be added to the top at the end.
Now you are ready to layer the lasagna in a 9x9 deep dish. Start by adding a few spoonfuls of meat sauce onto the bottom of the dish so that the noodles do not get hardened. Then you add a layer of noodles, soft goat cheese, meat sauce. Repeat for a 2nd layer and after adding the meat sauce; add the grated goat cheese at the top. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour at 400 degrees.
Don't worry if your family (kids especially) don't like spinach, it will add very good flavor and if chopped very fine, the won't even notice it. My 7 year old eats it up :o)
