Lean Beef and Vegetable Baked Pasta Casserole
Whole wheat penne and lean ground beef baked in a zesty marinara with hidden zucchini, finished with a layer of melty mozzarella.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Lean Ground Beef (93% lean)
1.5 oz Whole Wheat Penne
0.5 cup Marinara Sauce
0.5 cup chopped Zucchini
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne until just al dente, then drain.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef with minced garlic until no longer pink.
Stir in the finely chopped zucchini and sauté for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet and simmer with the beef and vegetables for 2 minutes.
Combine the cooked pasta with the meat sauce and toss until everything is well coated.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is beautifully melty.
