INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (85% lean)
1 cup Zucchini, sliced
1 cup Spinach
1 serving Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodle (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (low sodium)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 medium Onion, diced
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef. Break it apart and cook until just browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced half onion and minced garlic to the beef. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in the tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
While the sauce simmers, lightly sauté the zucchini slices in a separate pan for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Add in the spinach and cook until wilted.
Assemble the lasagna bake by layering the cooked whole wheat lasagna noodle on the bottom of a small baking dish. Spread half of the beef tomato sauce over the noodle, then layer with the zucchini and spinach mix.
Dollop the part-skim ricotta cheese evenly over the vegetable layer, then top with the remaining beef tomato sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the flavors meld and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty and lean lasagna bake!
