INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/3 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
2 oz Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles (dry)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and your favorite Italian herbs.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for a few minutes. Mix in the baby spinach until just wilted.
In the baking dish, layer the cooked ground beef mixture, then add dollops of low-fat ricotta cheese evenly over the surface.
Break or place the whole wheat lasagna noodles over the mixture. Repeat layering if desired, finishing with a top layer of the beef and tomato sauce mixture.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes to lightly brown the top.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
