INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 medium Onion, diced
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes. Mix in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
Combine the cooked ziti with the beef and spinach mixture. Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
