INGREDIENTS
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Basil Leaves
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground turkey until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the marinara sauce and let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
In a baking dish, combine the cooked pasta with the turkey marinara mixture. Dollop the part-skim ricotta cheese evenly over the top.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the dish for a burst of flavor and aroma.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
