Creamy Lean Beef and Ricotta Baked Lasagna
Enjoy a light yet hearty twist on classic lasagna featuring lean ground beef, creamy part-skim ricotta cheese, and a delicate layer of tomato sauce, all nestled between whole wheat lasagna sheets. This dish offers a balanced blend of protein and carbs with a subtle, savory finish from fresh spinach and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 Whole Wheat Lasagna Sheet
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Meanwhile, lightly cook the whole wheat lasagna sheet in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
Mix part-skim ricotta with a portion of the tomato sauce and stir in the fresh spinach, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the spinach.
Layer the bottom of a small baking dish with a thin layer of tomato sauce. Place the cooked lasagna sheet on top, then spread the beef evenly over it.
Top the beef with the ricotta-spinach mixture and drizzle the remaining tomato sauce over the layer.
Finish with a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the cheese is slightly golden.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
