INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 serving Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles (approx. 2 sheets, 50g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic in a small amount of water or broth until fragrant, then add the lean ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in the dried oregano for extra flavor.
Lightly cook the whole wheat lasagna noodles according to package instructions if a softer texture is preferred, then drain and set aside.
Mix the low-fat ricotta cheese with the fresh spinach in a bowl. Optionally, you can lightly wilt the spinach before mixing.
In a baking dish, layer a portion of tomato sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of noodles, then spread the ricotta-spinach mixture over the noodles.
Next, layer the cooked ground beef evenly and drizzle additional tomato sauce over the beef.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the lasagna is heated through.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your hearty yet balanced lasagna!
