Beef and Spinach Lasagna image

I used fresh spinach instead of frozen, and instead of jarred spaghetti sauce I used tomato puree and some white sauce mixed. I even skipped the ricotta because I didn't have any, but this was so flavorful I didn't miss it. I also used regular lasagna noodles instead of no-cook.
