INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
2 Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned. Season with garlic powder and dried basil while cooking.
Lightly cook the whole wheat lasagna noodles in boiling water for 2-3 minutes if they are not pre-cooked, then lay them out on a clean surface.
Stir in the fresh spinach into the beef, allowing it to wilt slightly. Remove from heat.
In a baking dish, layer the beef and spinach mixture, drizzle with the tomato sauce, and dollop by spoonfuls the part-skim ricotta cheese over the top.
Arrange the lasagna noodles over the mixture, and if desired, repeat layers to your preference ensuring even heat distribution.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the dish is heated through.
Allow the lasagna bake to cool for a few minutes before serving.
