I just prepared this recipe today and I have to tell you it
is pretty amazing. The calories are a
bit high but compared to regular lasagna it is a much better option. I am always looking for ways to sneak more
veggies into my diet because like most people I do not eat enough of them. The prep time for this dish is about thirty
minutes and the clean-up is about seven, that being said it’s a quick fix
dinner with few ingredients needed (compared to how most lasagnas go). This dish is also a low carb choice for those
of you watching your intake however; this dish is higher in fat due to the use
of cream cheese. I use eggbeaters in all
my recipes so that will reduce the number of calories and fat a bit but not
enough to make a huge difference. Hope
you enjoy!

Ingredients
1 pound ground beef or turkey2 tablespoons onion, chopped
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
8 ounces cream cheese
1 egg or eggbeaters
1/8 teaspoon pepper
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed & drained
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Directions
Brown the hamburger with the onion; drain off the fat. Mix in the garlic powder and spaghetti sauce;
season to taste and heat until bubbly. Meanwhile,
soften the cream cheese in a medium-size microwaveable bowl for about 40-60
seconds. Stir until creamy; beat in the
egg and pepper with a spoon until well mixed. Blend in the spinach. Spread half of the meat mixture evenly in the
bottom of a greased, 8 x 8" glass-baking pan. Spread the spinach mixture over the meat; top
with the mozzarella, then the rest of the meat. It may not completely cover the top, but that
is ok. Sprinkle with the parmesan
cheese. Bake at 350º about 30 minutes
until hot and bubbly..JPG)
