INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz 93% lean ground beef

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 cup baby spinach

0.25 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

1 sheet whole wheat lasagna noodle

0.5 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

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 and prepare a small oven-safe baking dish.

• 2

  In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no pink remains, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula.

• 3

  Season the beef with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano, then stir to combine.

• 4

  Add the marinara sauce and baby spinach to the skillet, stirring until the spinach is completely wilted and the sauce is bubbling.

• 5

  Boil the whole wheat lasagna noodle in a pot of salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and cut into three equal pieces.

• 6

  Spread a spoonful of the meat sauce on the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking.

• 7

  Layer one piece of the noodle, followed by a dollop of ricotta cheese and a portion of the meat sauce.

• 8

  Repeat the layers twice more, ending with the remaining meat sauce on the top layer.

• 9

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan evenly over the top of the lasagna.

• 10

  Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on the edges.
