INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (dry)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and dried oregano; sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add lean ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes. Toss in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
Combine the cooked pasta with the beef and spinach mixture in a baking dish. Top with low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
