INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (90/10)
1/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
2 sheets Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
3 Fresh Basil leaves (optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a small skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the tomato sauce into the cooked beef and allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors.
Lightly cook the spinach in a pan or microwave until just wilted.
In a small baking dish, layer broken pieces of whole wheat lasagna noodles, then spread a layer of the beef and tomato mixture followed by dollops of ricotta cheese and a scattering of spinach. Repeat the layers if your dish size allows.
Top the final layer with Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until warm and the cheese is slightly bubbly.
Allow the lasagna bake to cool for a few minutes before serving.
