INGREDIENTS
4 oz Ground Turkey
1/2 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
1/2 medium Onion (diced)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they become soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, seasoning with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Stir in the marinara sauce and allow the mixture to heat through for another 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and mix into the turkey marinara mixture.
Fold in the fresh spinach and gently combine until just wilted.
Transfer the pasta mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Top evenly with dollops of low-fat ricotta cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the dish is bubbly and the ricotta begins to set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
