INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup sliced Zucchini
1/2 cup Diced Tomato
1 cup Spinach
1 Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodle
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a nonstick skillet, cook the lean ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add the diced tomatoes to the beef, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to merge flavors.
While the beef simmers, blanch the zucchini slices in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain, and roughly chop them. Toss the spinach in to wilt slightly using the residual heat.
Prepare a small baking dish by layering: start with a whole wheat lasagna noodle at the base, add a layer of the beef-tomato mixture, then evenly distribute the zucchini and spinach.
Top with a dollop of low-fat cottage cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld together.
Let it cool for a minute before serving.
