INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef (93% Lean)
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup Zucchini, chopped
1 medium Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1/2 medium Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Once the beef is cooked through, add the chopped red bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the tomato sauce and simmer for an additional 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Combine the cooked whole wheat ziti with the beef and vegetable mixture in a baking dish. Mix well so that the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to intensify and the dish to heat through.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich dish.
