INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Zucchini
1/4 cup Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1 ounce Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodle
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and chopped bell pepper; cook for an additional 2 minutes.
In a baking dish, layer crumbled whole wheat lasagna noodle (pre-cooked or broken into smaller pieces), the beef mixture, zucchini slices, and dollops of creamy ricotta. Repeat layers if desired.
Finish with a light spread of remaining ricotta on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld together.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
