Classic Italian Beef Lasagna Bake
Lean ground beef and tender whole wheat noodles are layered with a creamy herbed ricotta and bubbling mozzarella for a comforting, savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz 93% Lean ground beef
1.5 sheet Whole wheat lasagna noodles
0.25 cup Part-skim ricotta cheese
0.5 oz Shredded mozzarella cheese
0.5 cup Low-sodium marinara sauce
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
1 tbsp Yellow onion
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Boil the whole wheat lasagna noodles in salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the minced onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, seasoning with sea salt, black pepper, and half of the dried oregano; cook until fully browned.
Stir in the fresh baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until just wilted, then remove the skillet from the heat.
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with the remaining dried oregano.
In a small individual-sized baking dish, spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on the bottom.
Layer half of a lasagna noodle, followed by half of the beef and spinach mixture, a dollop of ricotta, and a spoonful of sauce.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of marinara sauce and the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
