INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (94% lean)
1 cup cooked Fresh Spinach
1 serving Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles (approx. 50g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Stir in the Italian seasoning.
Mix in the chopped spinach and allow it to wilt slightly. Combine the tomato sauce into the meat and spinach mixture and simmer for a few minutes.
In a small baking dish, lay down a thin layer of the meat sauce. Arrange broken pieces of whole wheat lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Spread a layer of low-fat ricotta over the noodles, then add another layer of the meat and spinach mixture. Sprinkle part-skim mozzarella cheese on top.
Repeat layers if space allows, finishing with a layer of meat sauce and a final sprinkle of mozzarella.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until heated through and the cheese is bubbly. Let it cool slightly before serving.
