INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
3 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 small Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic in a light spray of olive oil or a few drops of water until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, and dried basil.
Stir in the marinara sauce and allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the fresh spinach, letting it wilt into the sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the turkey and spinach sauce in a baking dish.
Top with part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
