Freezable Low Carb Spinach Lasagna Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by CarolineNGa

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 oz.Frozen chopped spinach; thawed and drained
1 lb. ground beef
2 Tbsp. Chopped Onion
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1 cup spaghetti sauce
8 oz. cream cheese, softened (reduced fat works fine)
1 egg
1/8 tsp. pepper
4 oz. Shredded mozzarella cheese
2 Tbsp. Grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Brown the hamburger with the onion. Drain fat and transfer to large bowl. Add garlic powder and spaghetti sauce. In a medium bowl, stir cream cheese until creamy. Beat in egg and pepper with a spoon. Add spinach. In an 8x8 sprayed pan, spread 1/2 the meat mixture. Spread entire spinach mixture over the meat. Top with all of the mozzarella. Spread the rest of the meat mixture on top. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese. Freezing Directions: Cover with plastic wrap and put pan into gallon size freezer bag. If you don't want to tie up your pan for awhile, flash freeze the lasagna and then pop the frozen block out of the pan, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze in a freezer bag. Serving Directions: Remove plastic wrap. Cook uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Comments: You won't even miss the pasta in this lasagna. The cream cheese and spinach gives it a great flavor. I bake mine and then cut it into 9 squares and put them into individual freezer containers to microwave at work. Yummy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of greens: Don't limit yourself to just spinach. Try using other leafy greens like kale, collard greens, or Swiss chard. This will add a variety of flavors and textures to your lasagna.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will make your lasagna mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in lasagna. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. A combination of mozzarella and ricotta is a classic choice.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of lasagna together. Make sure to use a sauce that you love and that has a good consistency. A thick, hearty sauce is best.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set. Lasagna is also easier to slice and serve after it has rested.

Conclusion:

Spinach lasagna is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a spinach lasagna that is sure to impress your family and friends.
