Savor a lighter take on classic lasagna with lean ground beef, nutrient-packed spinach, and a delicate balance of part-skim cheeses layered between whole wheat noodles and a rich tomato sauce. This dish achieves a beautiful harmony of flavors and textures without compromising your nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef (93% lean)
1 piece Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodle
0.25 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Cooked Spinach
0.5 cup Tomato Sauce
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
Optional: 3 leaves Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Cook the whole wheat lasagna noodle according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Stir the tomato sauce into the beef, simmering for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Layer the ingredients in the baking dish: start with a thin layer of the beef and tomato sauce mixture, add the cooked noodle, then spread a layer of part-skim ricotta cheese, followed by cooked spinach. Repeat the layering if your dish size allows.
Top the final layer with the remaining beef mixture and sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve warm.
