1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (75g)
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast (85g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 clove Garlic, minced (3g)
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)

PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes, cooking until spinach wilts and tomatoes soften slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked ziti with ricotta cheese and the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the diced grilled chicken breast for added protein.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and the top is slightly golden.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
