INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Ziti (dry)
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey (93% lean)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (no salt added)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 small Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Dried Italian Herb Mix
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti in a large pot of boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and translucent.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until browned and fully cooked. Stir in the dried Italian herb mix during cooking.
Mix in the tomato sauce and fresh spinach. Let the spinach wilt and simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes.
Combine the cooked ziti with the turkey mixture, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the dish is heated through.
Serve warm and enjoy this hearty and balanced meal.
