INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 ounce Whole Wheat Ziti (dry)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 medium Onion, diced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat ziti according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic, and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Combine the cooked ziti with the beef and tomato sauce mixture, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and bake for 10-12 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
