INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Onion, diced
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become fragrant and softened.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Sauté until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti, fresh spinach, and the beef marinara mixture. Toss gently until the spinach wilts slightly.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the baked ziti cool slightly before serving.
