Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat olive oil a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot pot with onion, garlic, oregano, and basil until beef is completely browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir spaghetti sauce and spinach into ground beef mixture; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Stir ricotta cheese, 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
Spread a small amount of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Arrange lasagna noodles in a single layer over sauce. Spread another layer of sauce over top and arrange another layer of lasagna noodles over sauce. Spread 1/2 the remaining sauce and 1/2 the cheese mixture over top. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes, remove the aluminum foil, sprinkle lasagna with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and bake until noodles are cooked through and sauce is bubbling, about 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
