PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sauté the ground beef and minced garlic until the beef is fully browned, then drain any excess liquid.

  Stir the marinara sauce, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano into the skillet with the beef and simmer for 2 minutes.

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, liquid egg whites, and finely chopped baby spinach until well blended.

  In a small individual-sized baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom, followed by one lasagna noodle (broken to fit if necessary), and half of the ricotta mixture.

  Repeat the layers with another spoonful of sauce, the second noodle, the remaining ricotta mixture, and the rest of the meat sauce.

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
