Start by browning the ground beef. You can do this the day before and then put it in the fridge but you can just cook and drain at the time of cooking.
Next, add jarred marinara sauce, a jar full of water (using the same marinara sauce jar), and a can of diced tomatoes to the crockpot. Feel free to add seasoning as well if you like salt, pepper, oregano and Italian seasoning
While that simmers, add in the beef and spinach. Allow that to simmer for bit, a minimum of 10 minutes.
Next, break up the uncooked lasagna noodles into the crockpot. I tried to keep them in bigger pieces rather than super short (about 3 pieces per lasagna sheet)
Once the meat sauce is heated through and the spinach has wilted, add in the noodles, give it a quick stir, put the lid on, and let the crockpot work its magic.
Cook for 25 minutes or until the noodles are cooked through and soft.
You can now add in ricotta cheese and mix through, or just plate the lasagna and add a scoop of ricotta on top.
Once you plate the lasagna and before you dig in, sprinkle parmesan cheese on top and enjoy!
