PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

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

  While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.

• 4

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

• 5

  Stir in the tomato puree, dried oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh baby spinach, simmering until the spinach has wilted.

• 6

  Drain the pasta and toss it directly into the skillet with the sauce and sausage mixture until well combined.

• 7

  Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish.

• 8

  Dollop the ricotta cheese over the top and sprinkle evenly with the shredded mozzarella.
