INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
2 oz Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup diced Zucchini
1 cup cooked Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the tomato sauce with the cooked beef and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Lightly cook the diced zucchini in a separate pan until just tender.
Boil the whole wheat lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a baking dish, layer a portion of the meat sauce, followed by noodles, a layer of zucchini and cooked spinach, and dollops of creamy ricotta. Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of meat sauce and a few small ricotta dollops on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes to allow the top to set slightly.
Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving.
