PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea ziti for 2 minutes less than the package directions for a firm texture. Drain and set aside.

  In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through.

• 4

  Stir the grated zucchini into the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.

• 5

  Add the marinara sauce, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Simmer for 3 minutes.

• 6

  Fold the cooked ziti into the sauce until evenly coated.

• 7

  Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish. Dollop the ricotta cheese over the top and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella.

• 8

  Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.

  Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
