INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef (85g)
1 oz Whole-Grain Ziti Pasta (28g)
1/2 cup Low-Sugar Marinara Sauce (122g)
1/2 cup Mixed Hidden Veggies (50g)
1/8 cup Light Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until it is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Finely chop the spinach and zucchini. Once the beef is nearly done, stir in the chopped veggies and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the marinara sauce to the beef and veg mixture, stirring well. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to meld flavors.
Meanwhile, cook the whole-grain ziti pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and mix it into the beef and sauce mixture.
Transfer the combined mixture to a small baking dish. Sprinkle the light mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
