INGREDIENTS

5 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 sheet Whole grain lasagna noodle

2 tbsp Part-skim ricotta cheese

0.5 oz Part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese

0.25 cup No-sugar-added marinara sauce

0.5 cup Sliced zucchini

1 slice Whole grain bread

1 tsp Minced garlic

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp Dried oregano

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, then drain any excess fat.

• 3

  Stir the marinara sauce, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper into the beef and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes.

• 4

  Boil the whole grain lasagna noodle according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

• 5

  In a small individual-sized baking dish, spread a spoonful of the meat sauce on the bottom, followed by half of the lasagna noodle (broken to fit), a layer of zucchini slices, and the ricotta cheese.

• 6

  Add the remaining noodle, the rest of the meat sauce, and top evenly with the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan.

• 7

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

• 8

  While the lasagna bakes, mix the olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl; brush it onto the slice of whole grain bread.

• 9

  Toast the bread in a toaster oven or on a baking sheet until golden brown, then slice into strips to create breadsticks.

• 10

  Remove the lasagna from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, and serve alongside the warm garlic breadsticks.
