Hearty spinach beef lasagna with layers of savory ground beef, creamy cheese, and tangy tomato sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 onion, chopped
  • 0.5 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 (45 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 2 cups fat-free ricotta cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup dried parsley
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
  • 10 lasagna noodles, or more as needed
  • 0.5 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, or to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, sauté ground beef with onion, garlic, oregano, and basil in olive oil until beef is browned. Add spaghetti sauce and spinach, simmer until heated through.
  • Combine creamy ricotta cheese, 8 ounces of gooey mozzarella, fresh parsley, savory Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper in a bowl and mix well.
  • Start by delicately layering a portion of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Neatly lay lasagna noodles in a single layer over the sauce. Add another layer of sauce over the noodles. Then spread half of the remaining sauce and half of the cheese mixture over the top. Repeat the layers, making sure to end with a layer of sauce. Lastly, cover the pan with aluminum foil to seal in the flavors.
  • After baking for 55 minutes in the preheated oven, uncover the lasagna, sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and bake for an additional 15 minutes until noodles are cooked through and sauce is bubbling. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
