INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Ziti (Dry)
1/2 cup Fat-Free Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
2 large Egg Whites
1/2 cup Low Sodium Tomato Sauce
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the whole wheat ziti in a large pot of boiling, lightly salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fat-free cottage cheese, egg whites, garlic powder, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is uniform.
Add the cooked ziti to the bowl along with the low sodium tomato sauce. Mix gently until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
Transfer the pasta mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your high-protein, creamy baked ziti!
