Notes
- Cooking tip: Stir the pasta frequently as it cooks, making sure to separate the lasagna noodles. They have a tendency to stick to each other or to the bottom of the pan.
- Pasta variations: If desired, substitute other types of pasta, such as radiatore or campanelle. Most any kind of pasta would work, including whole wheat.
- Spinach: If you're not a fan of spinach, you can omit it. Another option is to sauté an 8 ounce package of sliced white mushrooms with the sausage and onions.
