  In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles.

  Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted, then remove from heat.

  Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish, followed by a piece of noodle.

  Layer half of the beef and spinach mixture, half of the ricotta mixture, and another spoonful of sauce.
