INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Whole Grain Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 medium Onion (quartered)
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole grain ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the skillet with the beef, cooking until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Once the beef is mostly cooked, stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt slightly.
Pour in the tomato sauce and mix well, letting the flavors meld for a couple of minutes.
Combine the beef-spinach mixture with the cooked pasta in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the combined mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until heated through and bubbly.
Serve hot and enjoy your balanced, lean baked ziti with a nutritious boost from spinach.
