A comforting, wholesome twist on a classic baked ziti, featuring lean ground beef, whole wheat pasta, and a blend of low-fat cheeses and vibrant spinach. This dish delivers a satisfying meal with balanced protein and flavor, making it a nutritious dinner option.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (no sugar added)
1 cup Fresh Spinach, chopped
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces; drain any excess fat.
Stir in the tomato sauce and chopped spinach with the beef; let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Combine the cooked whole wheat ziti pasta with the beef and tomato mixture in a large bowl.
Fold in the low-fat ricotta cheese until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish and top with shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the dish is heated through.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
