PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F. Cook the ziti in salted water until al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions.

• 2

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

• 3

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

• 4

  Stir in the tomato puree, oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh spinach, simmering until the greens have wilted.

• 5

  Toss the cooked pasta with the meat sauce, then gently fold in dollops of ricotta cheese for a marbled effect.

• 6

  Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish, top with shredded mozzarella, and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is gooey and bubbling.
