0.25 cup Part-skim ricotta cheese

0.5 cup Marinara sauce (no sugar added)

0.5 oz Part-skim mozzarella cheese

0.25 tsp Sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Boil the whole wheat ziti in a pot of salted water until just shy of al dente, then drain and set aside.

• 3

  In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the diced zucchini and minced garlic until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

• 4

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

• 5

  Stir the marinara sauce into the turkey and vegetable mixture, allowing it to simmer for 3 minutes to meld the flavors.

• 6

  In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the cooked ziti, the turkey-marinara sauce, and the ricotta cheese until the pasta is well coated.

• 7

  Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

• 8

  Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling and slightly browned.
