INGREDIENTS

1.25 oz chickpea ziti pasta

5 oz ground turkey (93% lean)

0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 clove garlic

0.5 cup tomato puree

0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh baby spinach

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 tsp grated parmesan cheese

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• 2

  Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea ziti for 2 minutes less than the package instructions to ensure it stays firm during baking.

• 3

  While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic and ground turkey until the meat is browned and cooked through.

• 4

  Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and stir for 1 minute until the leaves are just wilted.

• 5

  Turn the heat to low and stir in the tomato puree, Greek yogurt, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.

• 6

  Drain the cooked pasta and fold it into the skillet, ensuring every piece of ziti is well coated in the turkey and cream sauce.

• 7

  Top the mixture evenly with the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese.

• 8

  Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top has developed a beautiful golden crust.
