  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small individual baking dish with olive oil.

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

  Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the beef and stir for 1-2 minutes until the leaves are completely wilted.

  In a small bowl, stir the ricotta cheese with a tablespoon of the marinara sauce to create a smooth, spreadable consistency.

  Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish, followed by a piece of noodle, a layer of the beef and spinach mixture, and a dollop of the ricotta blend.

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