INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/3 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook whole wheat ziti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and cook until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors.
In a baking dish, combine the cooked pasta, beef mixture, and part-skim ricotta cheese. Gently mix until well incorporated.
Spray the top lightly with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and slightly bubbly.
Remove from oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and serve warm.
