  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a small oven-safe baking dish.

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

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

  Add the ground turkey to the skillet, seasoning it with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, then cook until fully browned.

• 5

  Stir the fresh baby spinach into the turkey mixture until it is just wilted, then pour in the marinara sauce and simmer for 3 minutes.

• 6

  Drain the pasta and toss it directly into the skillet with the turkey and sauce mixture until well coated.

• 7

  Transfer the pasta and sauce into the baking dish and dollop the ricotta cheese evenly across the top.
