Delicious Spinach Meat Lasagna Recipe

[pinit]Lasagna Recipe @savedbyloves[pinit]

Do you love lasagna as much as I do?  It is a personal favorite, especially when I can eat it without guilt.  Today I am sharing my recipe for a protein, vitamin packed spinach and ground sirloin lasagna.  I use cottage cheese in place of half of the ricotta cheese to cut back on fat, with no compromise in taste!
