PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic until the meat is cooked through.

• 3

  Stir in the tomato puree, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, then simmer the sauce for 5 minutes.

• 4

  Pulse the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until completely smooth to create a high-protein ricotta substitute.

• 5

  Spread a small spoonful of meat sauce on the bottom of the baking dish, then layer half of a noodle sheet, a layer of cottage cheese, and a handful of fresh spinach.

• 6

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

• 7

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer.

  Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
