Cook garlic until just starting to brown, add chard and cook until just tender, but still green.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, and drain the chard, allowing to cool.
Combine the ricotta, eggs, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
Spray a large casserole dish with pan release.
Cover the bottom of the pan with the no-boil pasta sheets.
Top the pasta with 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the parmesan, 1/3 of the chard, then 1/3 of the meatballs.
Repeat these steps 2 more times, then cover the lasagna with the mozzarella.
Bake the lasagna, covered with foil for 20 minutes at 375°F, then uncovered for about another 20, or until lightly browned and bubbly.
Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
