(Courtesy of Kraft Foods)

Ingredients:
2 lasagna noodles, uncooked
1/2 lb. extra-lean ground beef
1/2 c. chopped onions
1 clove garlic, minced
1 c. undrained, canned, diced tomatoes (about 2/3 of a 14.5 oz. can)
2 Tbsp. cream cheese
4 c. loosely packed baby spinach leaves
1/2 c. finely shredded Italian 5 cheese blend, divided

Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.  

Cook noodles as directed on package, omitting salt.

Meanwhile, brown meat with onions and garlic in a large nonstick skillet.  Add tomatoes and cream cheese; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until cream cheese is melted and mixture just comes to a boil.  Add spinach; cook and stir 1 minute.  Remove from heat, add 1/4 c. shredded cheese; stir until melted.

Drain noodles.  Spoon 1/3 c. spinach mixture into each of 2 (2 cup) ramekins; top with noodle; letting excess noodles extend over the rim of ramekin.  Top each with 1/3 c. spinach mixture; fold noodles back over dish to cover filling.  Repeat until all filling is folded between noodle layers; top with remaining shredded cheese.

Bake 20 minutes or until heated through.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
