Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bring water and half the salt to a boil in a pot. Cook the lasagna noodles for 8 to 10 minutes until tender. Drain and lay the noodles flat on a plate so they do not stick together.
While the water heats, place a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it into crumbles, until browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Done when opaque and browned, 160°F.
Stir the marinara sauce, the remaining salt, and the black pepper into the skillet with the beef. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped spinach until wilted.
Spread a small spoonful of meat sauce in the bottom of a 2-cup baking dish (such as a 5x7-inch dish). Layer one noodle, cut to fit the dish, followed by half the ricotta and a third of the remaining meat sauce. Repeat the layer once more. Top with the final noodle, the remaining sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 10 minutes more until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
