INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Lean Ground Beef (85% lean)
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (no added sugar)
1/4 cup Light Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the whole wheat lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Mix the cooked ground beef with the tomato sauce in the skillet and let simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
In a small baking dish, layer the ingredients: start with a layer of noodles, then spoon over a portion of the beef and tomato sauce mix, followed by dollops of low-fat ricotta cheese. Repeat the layers until all components are used.
Top the final layer with a sprinkle of light shredded mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the lasagna to set.
