INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese (part-skim)
1 Lasagna Noodle
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 Clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the lean ground beef to the pan, breaking it up into small crumbles. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
Meanwhile, cook the lasagna noodle according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with fresh basil. Add the fresh spinach and gently stir to combine.
Layer the cooked lasagna noodle in a small oven-safe baking dish. Spread half of the ricotta-spinach mixture along the noodle, then top with the ground beef mixture. Add the remaining ricotta-spinach mixture on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until everything is warmed through and slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the lasagna bake to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
