Brown the meat (Then drain and separate)
Put the meat back in the pan, and add the onion, green pepper, mushrooms, olives, tomato sauce, spinach, garlic and basil.
Boil the Lasagna Noodles (per the box instructions) then set them aside to cool, use a small amount of vegetable oil to coat the noodles to stop them from sticking to one another.
Lightly coat a roughly 13×9 x5 dish with vegetable oil and layer the ingredients in this fashion.
