Hearty Lean Ground Beef and Vegetable Lasagna Bake
Enjoy a comforting lasagna bake that layers lean ground beef with a medley of fresh vegetables, whole wheat lasagna noodles, and a creamy touch of part-skim ricotta. This hearty dish delivers satisfying flavors with every bite, making it a perfect balance of indulgence and nourishment.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (90/10)
2 sheets Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodle
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce (no added sugar)
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/2 cup diced Zucchini
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Onion
1 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef, chopped garlic, and finely diced onion. Sauté until the beef is browned and the onions have softened. Season with salt, pepper, and dried basil.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
In a lightly greased baking dish, begin layering: start with a thin spread of the meat sauce on the bottom, place a sheet of whole wheat lasagna noodle, then layer a portion of the meat sauce, dollops of part-skim ricotta, and scatter the baby spinach and diced zucchini evenly.
Repeat the layering process if your dish size allows, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the top is slightly browned and the vegetables are tender.
Allow the lasagna bake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your hearty, nutritious meal!
