1/2 cup cooked Ziti Pasta
1/3 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef, low-fat ricotta cheese, fresh spinach, and tomato sauce. Stir until well mixed.
Gently fold the cooked ziti pasta into the mixture ensuring all components are evenly distributed.
Transfer the combined mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and smooth the top. Optionally, add a few extra spinach leaves on top for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your balanced meal!
