INGREDIENTS

5 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0.25 cup ricotta cheese

1.5 sheet whole wheat lasagna noodles

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 cup fresh baby spinach

1 tbsp grated parmesan 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

  Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, then drain any excess fat.

• 3

  Stir the dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper into the beef to season it thoroughly.

• 4

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and the fresh baby spinach until the greens are well distributed.

• 5

  Spread two tablespoons of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a small oven-safe baking dish to prevent sticking.

• 6

  Place half of the lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the seasoned beef and half of the ricotta mixture.

• 7

  Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, beef, and ricotta, then finish by spreading the remaining marinara sauce over the top.

• 8

  Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the surface and bake for 25 minutes until the cheese is golden and the sauce is bubbling.
