Classic Italian Beef Lasagna Bake
Layered lean ground beef and whole wheat noodles with a creamy spinach-ricotta blend, topped with bubbling mozzarella for a comforting, savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz 93% lean ground beef
1.5 sheets whole wheat lasagna noodles
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
0.5 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh baby spinach
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, draining any excess fat.
Stir in the tomato puree, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper into the beef; simmer for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the chopped fresh baby spinach.
In a small oven-safe baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom.
Layer with half a noodle sheet, half of the ricotta-spinach mixture, and more meat sauce. Repeat layers.
Top with shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.
