1 tsp olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• 2

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

• 3

  While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground turkey until fully cooked.

• 4

  Add the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

• 5

  In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, browned turkey, marinara sauce, and ricotta cheese until the pasta is evenly coated.

• 6

  Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish and top evenly with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

• 7

  Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and develops a beautiful golden-brown crust.

• 8

  Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
