0.5 cup Marinara sauce (no sugar added)

0.13 cup Ricotta cheese (part-skim)

0.5 large Egg (beaten)

0.75 oz Mozzarella cheese (shredded)

0.5 sheet Whole wheat lasagna noodle (cooked)

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic until the meat is fully cooked and the onions are soft and translucent.

• 3

  Stir in the marinara sauce, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, then let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

• 4

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, half of a beaten egg, and the chopped fresh spinach until the mixture is uniform.

• 5

  In a small, individual-sized oven-safe baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom.

• 6

  Cut the cooked lasagna noodle in half to fit the dish, then place one half over the sauce.

• 7

  Spread the entire ricotta and spinach mixture over the noodle, then top with the second half of the noodle.

• 8

  Pour the remaining meat sauce over the top noodle and sprinkle evenly with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

• 9

  Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
