Classic Baked Ziti with Ricotta
Hearty chickpea ziti baked with lean ground turkey and a velvety ricotta swirl, topped with bubbling mozzarella for a comforting, protein-packed finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea ziti pasta
5 oz Ground turkey
0.5 cup Tomato puree
2 tbsp Part-skim ricotta cheese
0.5 oz Part-skim mozzarella cheese
0.5 cup Zucchini
1 tsp Olive oil
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
PREPARATION
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 directions to ensure it stays al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic and finely diced zucchini until softened.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, seasoning with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, and cook until the meat is fully browned.
Stir the tomato puree into the turkey and zucchini mixture, allowing it to simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Drain the cooked pasta and toss it directly into the skillet with the turkey and tomato sauce until evenly coated.
Transfer the pasta mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish and dollop the ricotta cheese across the top, swirling it gently into the sauce.
Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbling.
