INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 sheet whole grain lasagna noodle

2 tbsp part-skim ricotta cheese

0.5 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce

1 cup fresh baby spinach

0.5 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Bring a small pot of water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodle according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

• 3

  In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, seasoning it with the dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese and the fresh baby spinach until the spinach is evenly distributed through the cheese.

• 5

  In a small individual-sized baking dish, spread a spoonful of marinara sauce on the bottom to prevent sticking.

• 6

  Cut the cooked lasagna noodle into thirds to fit the dish, then layer noodle, beef, marinara, and the ricotta-spinach mixture.

• 7

  Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of marinara and the shredded mozzarella cheese.

• 8

  Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
