INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 medium Onion
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they soften and become translucent.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Stir in the dried Italian herbs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Mix in the tomato sauce, allowing the flavors to meld for a few minutes, then add the fresh spinach and let it wilt slightly.
In a lightly greased baking dish, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the beef and vegetable mixture.
Top the dish with low-fat cottage cheese, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the dish is heated through and the flavors have combined.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
