INGREDIENTS

4 oz 93% lean ground beef

0.25 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

0.5 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 large egg egg

1.5 sheets whole grain lasagna noodles

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 cup fresh spinach

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp dried oregano

1 clove garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a small individual-sized baking dish.

• 2

  Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, then drain and set aside.

• 3

  In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper until no longer pink.

• 4

  Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted, then remove from heat.

• 5

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg and then fold in the ricotta cheese and dried oregano until well combined.

• 6

  Spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking.

• 7

  Place half of a noodle sheet (broken to fit) in the dish, followed by half of the beef and spinach mixture, half of the ricotta mixture, and a layer of sauce.

• 8

  Repeat the layers once more, finishing with the final noodle piece, the remaining marinara, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.

• 9

  Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes; remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and the sauce is bubbling.

• 10

  Allow the lasagna to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the layers set.
