1 clove garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Boil the whole wheat lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente, then drain and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.

• 3

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 4

  Add the ground beef to the skillet, browning it completely while breaking it into small crumbles.

• 5

  Season the beef with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, then stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.

• 6

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg white, and finely chopped fresh spinach until smooth.

• 7

  Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce at the bottom of a small individual-sized oven-safe baking dish.

• 8

  Place a portion of the lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by the ricotta-spinach mixture and another layer of meat sauce.

• 9

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

• 10

  Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden, then let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
