INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 cloves Garlic
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned and crumbled.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat ziti, fresh spinach, and the beef-tomato mixture. Toss gently to mix well.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased small baking dish. Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
