Baked Ziti with Ricotta and Sausage
Al dente chickpea ziti tossed with savory turkey sausage and vibrant marinara, topped with dollops of creamy ricotta and baked until the edges are golden and bubbly.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz ground turkey sausage
1.5 oz dry chickpea ziti pasta
0.5 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce
2 tbsp part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic
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 for a firm al dente texture.
In a medium oven-safe skillet over medium heat, brown the turkey sausage until fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles.
Add the minced garlic and dried oregano to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the baby spinach until just wilted, then pour in the marinara sauce, sea salt, and black pepper.
Drain the pasta and fold it into the sausage and sauce mixture until evenly coated.
Top the mixture with dollops of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
