Ingredients

1 tbsp - olive oil
1 lb - ground beef
5 ounces - spinach
24 ounces - marinara sauce
1 tsp - dried basil
1 tsp - dried parsley
1 tsp - garlic powder
Salt and pepper
1 package - lasagna noodles
2 cups - almonds
2 tablespoons - lemon juice
1 tbsp - nutritional yeast
1 tsp - salt
½ tsp - dried oregano
½ cup - water

Instructions

Blend the almond ricotta cheese ingredients together in a food processor, streaming in 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.
Bring a large pot filled with water to a boil. Once boiling, cook lasagna noodles al dente according to the package directions. Drain when done.
Warm oil in a dutch oven or large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in spinach and cook for a couple minutes, until it begins to wilt. Add marinara sauce and seasoning. Cook for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Preheat the oven to 350F. To layer the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Top with a single layer of lasagna noodles. Spread an even layer of almond ricotta over the noodles, approximately ⅓ of the mixture. Top with approximately ⅓ of the meat sauce. Repeat twice with remaining noodles, almond ricotta, and sauce.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the edges are browned. Once cooked, remove from the oven, and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve with fresh basil garnished on top.
