I never cook the noodles for lasagna any more. I often substitute firm tofu for the ricotta, too. If I have fresh spinach I stir it in as is, but frozen works fine too.

8 slices bacon
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
6 ounces tomato paste

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
10 ounces spinach
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
8 -12 lasagna noodles
parmesan cheese, shredded
parsley, minced
Directions:
1. Cook and crumble bacon.
2. In drippings and oil, saute onion and garlic.
