5 oz 93% lean ground beef

0.75 sheets brown rice lasagna noodles

0.25 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

0.5 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

0.5 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F.

• 2

  Boil the brown rice lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside on parchment paper to prevent sticking.

• 3

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

• 4

  Stir the fresh spinach and marinara sauce into the skillet, simmering for 3-5 minutes until the spinach is completely wilted.

• 5

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with the dried oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley until smooth.

• 6

  In a small individual-sized baking dish, spread a spoonful of the meat sauce on the bottom, followed by a layer of noodles cut to fit the dish.

• 7

  Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then top with another layer of meat sauce and the remaining noodles.

• 8

  Finish with the rest of the meat sauce and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.

• 9

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