Creamy Baked Ziti with Golden Cheese Crust
Al dente chickpea pasta tossed with lean ground turkey and creamy ricotta, baked until the mozzarella forms a bubbly golden crust.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz dry chickpea ziti pasta
4 oz 93% lean ground turkey
0.5 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce
0.25 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
0.5 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh baby spinach
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling salted water for 2 minutes less than the package directions to ensure it stays al dente after baking.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey until fully cooked and no longer pink.
Season the turkey with garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and stir until just wilted, then pour in the marinara sauce and simmer for 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the ricotta cheese and the cooked pasta until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the pasta mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish and sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbling around the edges.
