INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (raw)
1/4 cup Low Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 medium Onion (quartered)
1 Garlic clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the quartered onion and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until lightly browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Pour in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts.
Mix the cooked pasta into the skillet along with the ricotta cheese. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
