INGREDIENTS

2 oz chickpea ziti

3 oz ground turkey

0.5 cup tomato sauce

0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

1 cup baby spinach

0.75 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

1 tsp olive oil

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried oregano

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.

• 2

  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea ziti until just al dente, usually 1-2 minutes less than the package directions.

• 3

  While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 4

  Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked through.

• 5

  Season the turkey with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, then stir in the tomato sauce and baby spinach.

• 6

  Simmer the sauce for 2 minutes until the spinach has wilted, then remove from the heat.

• 7

  Stir the non-fat Greek yogurt into the sauce until it is smooth and creamy.

• 8

  Drain the ziti and toss it with the creamy meat sauce until every noodle is well-coated.

• 9

  Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top evenly with the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

• 10

  Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starts to turn a beautiful golden brown.
