INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 serving Whole Wheat Lasagna Sheets (approx. 80g)
0.33 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
0.25 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1 cup Fresh Spinach
0.5 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a small baking dish.
Layer with whole wheat lasagna sheets, then spread a mix of low-fat ricotta and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella over the noodles.
Add a layer of fresh spinach, then top with more meat sauce.
Repeat the layers if the dish size allows, finishing with a layer of sauce and a final sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is lightly browned.
Allow the lasagna to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
