Creamy Baked Ziti with Golden Cheese Crust
Al dente chickpea ziti tossed with lean ground turkey and zesty marinara, finished with a bubbly, golden cheese crust that adds a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea ziti pasta
5 oz ground turkey
0.5 cup tomato puree
1 cup baby spinach
1 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 whole garlic clove
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea ziti for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest for al dente.
While the pasta cooks, mince the garlic clove.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, seasoning with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Cook the turkey, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is completely browned and cooked through.
Stir in the tomato puree and baby spinach, simmering for 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted into the sauce.
Drain the pasta and toss it directly into the skillet with the turkey and sauce until well combined.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan evenly over the top.
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and develops a golden-brown crust.
