INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Ziti
3 oz Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (No Salt Added)
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the whole wheat ziti in a large pot of boiling, salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato sauce with the beef and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Combine the cooked ziti and the beef-spinach sauce in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and stir gently to mix.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish and bake for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, hearty meal.
