INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Ziti
3 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 Small Onion
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped small onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach to the turkey mixture; let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts.
In a baking dish, combine the cooked pasta, turkey-tomato mixture, and dollops of part-skim ricotta cheese. Mix gently to distribute ingredients while keeping some texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed baked ziti.
