Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 2 tablespoons Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter
  • 12 ounces Cream Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Salt
  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • 3 Bay Leaf
  • 1/2 cup Aged Asiago Cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • Cracked Black Pepper to taste
  • 12 sheets No Boil Lasagna Noodles
  • 2 cups Baby Spinach Leaves
  • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Parsley to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an oven to 350°F
  • Add the ground beef and poultry seasoning to a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook until browned and cook through, roughly 10 to 15 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  • Drain off the excess fat and set the ground beef mixture aside as you make the alfredo sauce.
  • To make the alfredo sauce, melt a stick of butter over medium heat in a large saucepan.
  • Cut the cream cheese into cubes and add it, and the garlic salt, to the melted butter.
  • Whisk until mostly combined, then add the milk gradually, whisking between each addition.
  • Once all of the milk is added, continue whisking until the milk is fully incorporated and the sauce is creamy.
  • Add the bay leaves, grated Asiago and Parmesan cheeses. Whisk continuously to combine.
  • Reduce the heat to low and season to taste with black pepper.
  • Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, whisking reguarly.
  • Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Remove the bay leaves, then spoon 1/4 of the alfredo sauce into the baking dish and spread it evenly to coat the bottom of the dish.
  • Place four lasagna noodles in a single layer across the bottom of the dish.
  • Add 1/2 of the ground beef to the dish and spread it evenly across the noodles.
  • Next, add 1/2 of the baby spinach leaves and spread those on top.
  • Spoon another 1/4 of the alfredo sauce on top of the spinach and spread it out to mostly cover the spinach.
  • Add another layer of noodles, the rest of the ground beef, the remaining spinach and another 1/4 of the alfredo sauce in the same way.
  • Top with a final layer of lasagna noodles and then spread the reamining alfredo sauce evenly on top.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over everything and bake until golden brown around the edges and bubbly, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • When done, remove carefully from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and serve warm.
