• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small individual-sized baking dish.

  In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles.

  Season the beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then stir in the fresh baby spinach until it is just wilted.

• 4

  In a small bowl, stir together the part-skim ricotta cheese and dried oregano until well combined.

  Spread two tablespoons of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish, then top with a portion of the lasagna noodles broken to fit the dish.

  Layer half of the beef and spinach mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the ricotta mixture and more marinara sauce.

  Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, beef, and ricotta, finishing with a final layer of marinara sauce and the shredded mozzarella.

  Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
