INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup diced Zucchini
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup diced Onion
2 cloves minced Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and softened.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Once the beef is nearly done, stir in the diced zucchini and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften while retaining a bit of crispness.
Fold in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.
Combine the cooked pasta with the beef and vegetable mixture, tossing gently to blend all the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving.
