INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef (93% lean)
1 cup whole wheat ziti pasta (cooked)
1 cup fresh spinach
0.5 cup tomato sauce
0.5 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 oz low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Crumble in the lean ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach into the beef mixture. Allow the spinach to wilt and the flavors to blend, cooking for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine the cooked pasta with the beef and spinach mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Top with shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
