INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Lean Ground Beef
2 ounces (dry) Whole Wheat Ziti
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the tomato sauce with the cooked ground beef and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Mix the cooked ziti, spinach, and low-fat ricotta cheese into the beef and tomato sauce mixture. The residual heat will wilt the spinach.
Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until heated through and flavors meld together.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed baked ziti.
