INGREDIENTS

5 oz 93% lean ground beef

0.25 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

0.5 oz brown rice lasagna noodles

0.5 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce

1 oz part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup fresh baby spinach

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 clove garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the brown rice lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.

• 4

  Add the ground beef to the skillet, seasoning with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked through.

• 5

  Stir the marinara sauce and fresh baby spinach into the beef mixture, simmering for 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted.

• 6

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

• 7

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

• 8

  Layer a lasagna noodle (cut to fit if necessary), followed by a layer of ricotta cheese and more meat sauce. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.

• 9

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top layer.

• 10

  Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
