Mock Lasagna

This is a family favorite that is also a 2 pot wonder. I love not having to do extra dishes.

1 box Barilla pasta (penne, butterfly or rigatoni are all acceptable)

1/2 box to 1 box frozen spinach

1 lb hamburger

chopped onion, salt and pepper

1 large bottle spaghetti sauce

2 cups grated mozzarella or 1 med. container cottage cheese

Start some water to boil. While that's happening, decide how much spinach you would like to use and thaw it out in the microwave. Drain off the nasty spinach water as you go. Brown hamburger with onion, salt and pepper in a large pan. Drain off grease. Put pasta in the water when it starts bubbling nicely, and add sauce to hamburger when thoroughly cooked. Drain pasta and add sauce and meat.
Now you can decide to be fancy or not. For fancy, turn oven on to 350. Grease a cake pan and pour in half the pasta mixture. Layer on mozz or cottage cheese and spinach, followed by the rest of the pasta. Top with grated mozz and let bake for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. For quick but dang good, add cheese and spinach to pasta mix. Blend well and serve with a little extra mozz or Parmesan to go on top of each serving.
