INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add lean ground turkey to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato sauce and fresh basil, then add in the fresh spinach and let it wilt slightly.
Mix in the cooked pasta and dollop the low-fat ricotta evenly over the mixture.
Gently fold the ricotta to create creamier pockets throughout the pasta without fully blending it in.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the dish is heated through and slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve warm.
