INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz 93% lean ground beef

2 sheets whole wheat lasagna noodles

0.5 cup marinara sauce

3 tbsp part-skim ricotta cheese

0.75 oz part-skim mozzarella 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

1 tsp olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and brown the ground beef until no longer pink.

• 3

  Season the beef with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano for a classic Italian flavor profile.

• 4

  Stir in the marinara sauce and fresh baby spinach, simmering for 2 minutes until the spinach is fully wilted.

• 5

  In a small oven-safe dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom to prevent sticking.

• 6

  Layer with one lasagna sheet (broken to fit the dish), half of the ricotta cheese, and a portion of the meat sauce.

• 7

  Repeat the layer with the remaining lasagna sheet and ricotta, then top with the mozzarella cheese.

• 8

  Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
