Steps:

• Brown the hamburger with the onion. Drain fat and transfer to large bowl. Add garlic powder and spaghetti sauce. In a medium bowl, stir cream cheese until creamy. Beat in egg and pepper with a spoon. Add spinach. In an 8x8 sprayed pan, spread 1/2 the meat mixture. Spread entire spinach mixture over the meat. Top with all of the mozzarella. Spread the rest of the meat mixture on top. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese. Freezing Directions: Cover with plastic wrap and put pan into gallon size freezer bag. If you don't want to tie up your pan for awhile, flash freeze the lasagna and then pop the frozen block out of the pan, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze in a freezer bag. Serving Directions: Remove plastic wrap. Cook uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Comments: You won't even miss the pasta in this lasagna. The cream cheese and spinach gives it a great flavor. I bake mine and then cut it into 9 squares and put them into individual freezer containers to microwave at work. Yummy!

Steps:

• Combine the Ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper in a medium-size bowl. Place 1 cup of the marinara and 1/4 cup of vegetable stock into the bottom of the Microwave Pressure Cooker and stir together. Take 3 halves of the lasagna noodles and place them next to each other on top of the marinara. Carefully spread half of the Ricotta mixture over the lasagna. Sprinkle 1-1/2 cups of spinach over the Ricotta. Sprinkle 1 cup of Mozzarella over the spinach. Spread 1/2 cup of marinara over the Mozzarella. Pour a 1/4 cup of vegetable stock over the Mozzarella and marinara. Take 3 halves of the lasagna noodles and place them next to each other over the spinach. Push them towards you, so you can fill the empty space with a fourth noodle (laying in the opposite direction). Spread the remaining Ricotta over the noodles, the remaining spinach on top, and then pour the remaining stock over the spinach. Place the remaining noodles next to each other over the spinach and spread the remaining marinara on top. Put the lid on the pressure cooker and lock it in place. Microwave on high for 30 minutes. When the pressure has dropped naturally, unlock and open the lid. Sprinkle with the remaining Mozzarella. Cover again; let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
