My family is from Argentina, which has a strong Italian heritage and large cattle ranches. One of our favorite Argentinian recipes is this all-in-one lasagna packed with meat, cheese and veggies. —Sylvia Maenenr, Omaha, Nebraska

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 large sweet onion, chopped
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1 jar (15 ounces) Alfredo sauce
1 carton (15 ounces) ricotta cheese
2-1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 package (9 ounces) no-cook lasagna noodles
Grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, onion, mushrooms and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, crumble beef; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, pepper and 2 cups mozzarella cheese; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the Alfredo sauce, ricotta cheese, peas and spinach.
Spread 1 cup meat sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with 4 noodles, 1-1/4 cups meat sauce and 1-1/4 cups spinach mixture. Repeat layers 3 times. Sprinkle with remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese. (Pan will be full.)
Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Garnish with basil and, if desired, serve with Parmesan cheese.
