INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodle sheet
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 medium Onion, diced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the marinara sauce with the cooked beef and let simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small baking dish, layer the ingredients starting with the cooked whole wheat lasagna noodle sheet. Spread a layer of the beef marinara mixture, followed by dollops of low-fat ricotta cheese and a scattering of fresh spinach leaves.
Repeat layering if desired, finishing with a top layer of beef mixture. You can also add a light sprinkle of black pepper on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is warmed through and the flavors meld.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
