Hearty Baked Lasagna with Lean Ground Beef and Ricotta
A comforting baked lasagna that layers flavorful lean ground beef with creamy part-skim ricotta, whole wheat noodles, and a vibrant tomato sauce with fresh spinach. Each bite delivers a satisfying mix of textures and a balanced blend of protein, carbs, and just the right amount of healthy fats.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1/4 cup Part-skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Minced Garlic
1/2 medium Diced Onion
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach into the beef mixture, allowing the spinach to wilt slightly. Simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
Prepare your whole wheat lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
In a small baking dish, layer the noodles, then spread half of the beef and tomato mixture evenly. Add dollops of part-skim ricotta cheese over the mixture.
Layer the remaining noodles and top with the rest of the beef mixture. Optionally, add a few more dollops of ricotta on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the lasagna is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
