INGREDIENTS

3.5 oz Ground turkey (93% lean)

1 oz Chickpea ziti pasta

0.13 cup Part-skim ricotta cheese

0.5 oz Part-skim mozzarella cheese

0.5 cup Marinara sauce

1 cup Fresh spinach

0.5 tsp Olive oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Dried oregano

1 clove Garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea ziti for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest, then drain.

• 3

  In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 4

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

• 5

  Stir in the fresh chopped spinach until it is just wilted, then pour in the marinara sauce and simmer for 2 minutes.

• 6

  Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the cooked pasta until evenly coated in the sauce.

• 7

  Dollop the part-skim ricotta cheese throughout the pasta mixture, stirring very gently to keep small creamy pockets intact.

• 8

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
