Healthy Baked Ziti with Lean Ground Beef and Spinach
Enjoy a lighter twist on the classic baked ziti. Lean ground beef, whole wheat ziti, fresh spinach, and a rich tomato sauce come together under a sprinkle of part-skim mozzarella for a comforting dish that's both nutritious and delicious.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (No Salt Added)
1 cup Spinach
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the tomato sauce to the beef, stirring well and allowing it to simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
In a separate pot, cook the whole wheat ziti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and mix with fresh spinach to lightly wilt the greens.
Combine the beef and tomato sauce mixture with the cooked pasta and spinach. Stir in half of the part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the baked ziti to cool slightly before serving.
