INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1.5 ounces Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodle (cooked)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook lean ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Lightly cook whole wheat lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Mix the low-fat ricotta cheese with fresh spinach in a small bowl to combine flavors and add a nutritional boost.
In a small baking dish, start with a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Layer with a portion of noodles, followed by a layer of cooked beef, a dollop of the ricotta-spinach mixture, and a light drizzle of marinara sauce.
Repeat the layering if space allows, finishing with a final drizzle of marinara on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld.
Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty yet balanced lasagna!
