Creamy Baked Ziti with Golden Cheese Topping
Tender chickpea ziti tossed in a rich marinara and herb-infused turkey sauce, baked until the bubbly mozzarella topping turns a perfect golden brown.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Ground turkey
0.4 cup Chickpea ziti pasta
0.5 cup Marinara sauce
2 tbsp Part-skim ricotta cheese
0.5 oz Shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the chickpea ziti in a pot of boiling water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest, then drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground turkey, seasoning it with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Once the turkey is fully cooked, stir in the marinara sauce and ricotta cheese, simmering for 2 minutes until the sauce is creamy and combined.
Add the par-cooked pasta to the skillet and toss thoroughly to ensure every noodle is coated in the sauce.
Transfer the pasta and meat mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish.
Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the dish.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and begins to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
