INGREDIENTS

5 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

0.25 cup Low-fat ricotta cheese

0.5 oz Part-skim mozzarella cheese

1.5 sheets Whole wheat lasagna noodles

0.5 cup Marinara sauce (no sugar added)

1 cup Fresh spinach

1 clove Garlic

2 tbsp Yellow onion

0.25 tsp Dried oregano

0.25 tsp Black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Cook the whole wheat lasagna noodles in boiling water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

• 3

  In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the finely diced onion and minced garlic until the beef is no longer pink.

• 4

  Stir in the marinara sauce, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper; add the fresh spinach and stir until it is completely wilted into the sauce.

• 5

  In a small bowl, lightly whip the ricotta cheese with a fork to make it easier to spread.

• 6

  In a small individual-sized baking dish, spread a spoonful of the meat and spinach sauce across the bottom.

• 7

  Place half of a lasagna noodle over the sauce, followed by half of the ricotta cheese and another layer of meat sauce.

• 8

  Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, ricotta, and meat sauce, finishing with a final layer of sauce on top.

• 9

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top layer.

• 10

  Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling at the edges.
