INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
2 cups Fresh Spinach
0.33 cup Reduced-Fat Ricotta Cheese
2 Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles
0.5 cup Low-Sodium Marinara Sauce
0.25 cup minced Onion
1 clove minced Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced onion and garlic, and sauté until they turn fragrant and slightly translucent, about 2 minutes.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the Italian seasoning and set aside.
Gently wilt the fresh spinach in the same skillet with the beef for about 2 minutes until just softened.
In a baking dish, lay out the whole wheat lasagna noodles. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the noodles.
Layer the cooked ground beef and spinach mixture evenly over the noodles. Dollop the reduced-fat ricotta cheese over the beef, and then drizzle the remaining marinara sauce on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to lightly brown the top.
Allow the lasagna bake to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
