Prepare the Sautéed Spinach

- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a 9" x 13" baking dish, spread a spoonful of the tomato sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish.
- On top of the tomato sauce, place three of the no boil lasagne noodles side by side, spreading across the dish.
- Take 1/3 of the cheese mixture, and spread it on top of the noodles.
- Sprinkle 1/3 of the spinach on top of the cheese mixture.
- Add 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella on top of the spinach.
- Top with more tomato sauce.
- Repeat two more times until three layers of lasagna are built in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese on top of the tomato sauce.
- Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil, then transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake 30 minutes, then remove the aluminum foil.
- Turn up the oven to 425°F, and bake the lasagna for 15 more minutes, or until the cheese on top is slightly browned, melted, and the rest of the dish is bubbling.
