INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup cooked Ziti Pasta
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Spinach
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the finely chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and soft.
Add the lean ground beef to the pan, cooking until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the marinara sauce and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked ziti pasta, spinach, ricotta cheese, and the beef-tomato mixture. Gently mix until the vegetables are evenly distributed.
Transfer the combined mixture into a baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the edges are slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
