Healthy Cheesy Baked Ziti with Lean Ground Beef and Spinach
Savor a hearty yet healthy twist on classic baked ziti. Lean ground beef combined with whole wheat pasta, vibrant spinach, and a light tomato sauce, all topped with a sprinkle of part-skim mozzarella, creates a balanced meal full of flavor and nutrients.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef (90/10)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 cup Spinach (raw)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook whole wheat ziti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Once browned and cooked through, stir in the tomato sauce and let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Mix in the raw spinach into the meat sauce, allowing it to wilt slightly.
Combine the cooked ziti with the meat and spinach sauce, stirring until well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, top evenly with shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Allow the baked ziti to cool for a few minutes before serving.
