INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/4 cup Part-skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Zucchini slices
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 large Egg
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and cook until it is browned and mostly cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and dried basil.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with ricotta cheese, fresh spinach, zucchini slices, and cherry tomatoes. Stir in the egg to help bind the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve warm.
