Instructions

  • Heat oil in a deep 12-inch oven-safe skillet or or sauté pan set over medium-high heat. Crumble in beef; cook, breaking up with a spoon, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add onion, garlic and herb seasoning; reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes or until onion is tender.
  • Pour in passata and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Stir in broken lasagna noodles and 1 cup additional water. Reduce heat and simmer, covered and stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed. Stir in 2 cups additional water. Simmer, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes longer or until noodles are tender and sauce has thickened.
  • Layer spinach over top and cover; let stand for 3 minutes. Stir until wilted. Stir in ricotta, 1/3 cup basil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle top with mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Meanwhile, preheat broiler to high and position rack to center of oven. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes or until gooey and lightly browned. Garnish with additional torn basil.
