Creamy Baked Ziti with Golden Mozzarella Crust
Tender chickpea ziti and savory ground turkey are tossed in a rich marinara sauce and baked under a bubbly, golden mozzarella crust.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea ziti pasta
4 oz lean ground turkey
0.5 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce
2 tbsp part-skim ricotta cheese
0.75 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh baby spinach
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
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, then drain.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey until fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles.
Season the turkey with the garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and stir until just wilted.
Pour in the marinara sauce and stir in the ricotta cheese until the mixture is creamy and well-combined.
Fold the cooked ziti into the sauce and turkey mixture until every noodle is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish and top evenly with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and develops a beautiful golden brown color.
