PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Cook the chickpea ziti in a pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes less than the package directions until it is just under al dente.

• 3

  While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 4

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

• 5

  Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet with the turkey and simmer on low for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

• 6

  Drain the pasta and toss it thoroughly with the turkey and marinara sauce mixture.

• 7

  Transfer half of the pasta mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish, dollop with the ricotta cheese, and then cover with the remaining pasta.

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
