PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onions and red bell peppers until the meat is cooked through and vegetables are softened.

• 3

  Stir in the dry risoni pasta, canned diced tomatoes, water, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 4

  Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the risoni is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

• 5

  Remove from heat and fold in the fresh baby spinach, light cream cheese, and cottage cheese until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is creamy.

• 6

  Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish and arrange the slices of Camembert cheese evenly over the top.

  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the Camembert is melted and the edges of the bake are golden and bubbling.
